Abstract

The success of a comprehensive and integrated school mental health system is dependent on data to inform decision-making. Universal screening is one such method utilized by schools to inform treatment across universal, targeted, and individual levels of service. However, the use of multiple informants (teacher and student) remains elusive due to a lack of practical and research based-aggregation guidance. The purpose of the current study is to identify the optimal numbers of rater agreement profiles, determine demographic predictors of profiles membership, and if profiles differentially predict distal academic outcomes. Nearly 24,000 teacher-student dyads were included in this study. Results suggested four profiles emerged with significant differences in academic outcomes. Considerations for research and practice are presented.

We also conducted Little’s MCAR tests: χ²(317) = 746.88, p < .001 for student and teacher SAEBRS scores; χ²(317) = 700.51, p < .001 with gender and race covariates additionally; and χ²(507) = 3645.74, p < .001 with reading and math outcomes additionally. However, given large sample size in this study, we majorly interpreted the relationship between missingness and other variables with correlation coefficients for the missing mechanism.

As reported earlier, the missingness of gender and race were not associated with any variables in the model and thus possibly happened completely at random. When we compared the results of a model with special education status and grade which were complete (N = 24,094) to those of a model with all four predictors (N = 16,710), general findings in terms of special education status and grade remained consistent although their coefficients changed by controlling for the other predictors. Hence, we concluded that listwise deletion less likely made any notable differences in the findings. In addition, we did not consider multiple imputation which generally assumes multivariate normality that is not relevant for binary variables, gender and race.
