The study authors indicated that they used a regression discontinuity design to measure impacts. According to the What Works Clearinghouse standards that HomVEE relies on for rating this type of design, the study must have at least four unique values of the assignment variable above the cutoff and at least four unique values below the cutoff. This study does not meet that requirement. Therefore, HomVEE reviewed this study using standards for a quasi-experimental design.
