Notes from the review of this manuscript
In addition to outcomes that examined the impact of PALS, this study also presented findings from analyses that included an interaction between PALS and a second, classroom-based, intervention. These findings were not eligible for review by HomVEE because they did not isolate the total effect of PALS. Although the study author did not specify this research as being about the PALS Toddler/Preschooler version, HomVEE categorized it as PALS Toddler/Preschooler based on the ages of the children in the study.
