TL;DR: An aggressive smoking intervention program significantly reduces the age-related decline in FEV 1 in middle-aged smokers with mild airways obstruction and use of an inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator results in a relatively small improvement inFEV 1 that appears to be reversed after the drug is discontinued.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis evaluated the effect of Daily Behavior Report Card interventions within single case research designs, investigating six potential moderators of treatment effects: student age, target behavior, home/school collaboration, breadth of use, scale construction, and reliability measure Effect sizes are based on the improvement rate difference.

TL;DR: The intervention resulted in positive, stable improvements in the primary dependent variable of on-task behavior for both students and less clear improvement in the generalization variable of disruptive behavior.

TL;DR: Teacher-student conflict and closeness did not influence subsequent levels of math or reading achievement once previous levels were controlled, and influences were consistent across gender groups despite latent differences in teacher-student closeness and conflict.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a review of academic interventions for students with EBD to broaden the impact of research by developing a list of instructional interventions that researchers have demonstrated to be effective in improving academic performance of students withEBD.
