Abstract

Although implementation of universal social-emotional learning programs is becoming more common in schools, few studies have examined the cost-effectiveness of such programs. As such, the purpose of this article is two fold. First, we provide an overview of cost-effectiveness methods for school-based programs, and second, we share results of a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of a universal social-emotional learning (SEL) program, the Social Skills Improvement System-Classwide Intervention Program (SSIS-CIP; Elliott & Gresham, 2007). Specifically, we compared the cost-effectiveness of SSIS-CIP implementation across first- and second-grade classrooms, and results indicated that second grade is the more cost-effective option for implementing the SSIS-CIP. Several considerations are discussed regarding cost-effectiveness analysis of universal SEL programs as well as the importance of using CEA results to inform programming decisions.

代价是什么?考察一个通用的社会情感学习项目的成本效益。

虽然普遍的社会情感学习课程在学校的实施变得越来越普遍，但很少有研究调查了这些课程的成本效益。因此，本文的目的是双重的。首先，我们概述了以学校为基础的项目的成本效益方法，其次，我们分享了一个普遍的社会情感学习(SEL)项目的成本效益分析(CEA)结果，即社会技能改善系统-班级干预项目(SSIS-CIP;Elliott & Gresham, 2007)。具体来说，我们比较了一年级和二年级教室实施SSIS-CIP的成本效益，结果表明二年级是实施SSIS-CIP的更具成本效益的选择。讨论了关于通用SEL计划的成本效益分析的几个考虑因素，以及使用CEA结果来通知规划决策的重要性。(PsycINFO数据库记录
