Implementation Outcomes and Impact of a School Health and Wellness Network Specialist Intervention in Chicago Public Schools.
Article in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate implementation, impact, and cost-effectiveness of a Network Specialist intervention focused on health and wellness policy implementation in Chicago Public Schools. Education sector (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) and implementation science (Implementation Outcomes Framework, SISTER) frameworks informed the intervention.
designQuasi-experimental case-comparison efficacy study conducted between 2020-2021 and 2022-2023. Annual survey data and key informant interviews were used to evaluate implementation outcomes (acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility); survey and administrative data were used to assess impact and cost effectiveness using difference-in-difference (DID) analyses and an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER).
settingOne elementary school Network located on Chicago's Westside (intervention) and 1 socio-demographically matched comparison Network (DID only).
participantsNetwork Specialists, school-level stakeholders, and school-level administrative data.
interventionThe Network Specialist provided a multi-tiered system of support to schools for health and wellness policy implementation.
main outcome measureHealthy CPS score (out of 100) and ICER.
resultsThe Specialist served 20 schools/year and an average of 302 students/school. At least 85% of school stakeholders perceived high levels of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of working with the Specialist to support policy implementation. Schools in the intervention Network increased their Healthy CPS scores by 8 percentage points (70.95% pre vs. 78.95% post; P = .03), whereas scores stayed the same in the comparison network (74.03% pre vs. 73.03% post; P = .68), for an estimated 9-percentage point DID-estimated impact ( P = .04). The cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that it cost each school $414, on average, to increase their Healthy CPS score by 1 percentage-point.
conclusionsHaving a designated district-level Specialist to provide multi-tiered supports to schools to help with health and wellness policy implementation is cost-effective and is valued and appreciated by schools. The Specialist connects schools to key resources and services which enables them to improve their school-level implementation of federal, state and local health and wellness policy requirements.
