Systematic Review (n=359)
Do education support services improve school engagement and academic performance in children and adolescents with a chronic health condition?
There is currently very low certainty evidence regarding whether education support interventions improve academic achievement or school engagement in children with chronic health conditions, though they may slightly improve mental health.
Barnett et al. (2023) conducted a systematic review in Chronic health conditions (n=359). Education support services was evaluated on School engagement and academic achievement. Education support interventions for children with chronic health conditions had uncertain effects on school engagement and transition back to school (SMD 0.18; 95% CI -0.46 to 0.96).
