Filter by:The goal of this interventional pilot study is to gain experiences in using the Back 2 School (B2S) program for youth with school attendance problems in Norwegian community school- and health services. The main questions it aims to answer are: • What is the feasibility of the Back 2 School program when implemented in Norwegian community school- and health services? • What are the changes in school attendance rates, measures of psychological difficulties, and school related self-efficacy following the intervention? • How do participants experience the B2S program? 16 youth (6-16 years) with school attendance problems, their caregivers and the school participate in the B2S program provided by an interdisciplinary team during the school term of 2022-2023. Researchers will compare school attendance rates before entrance to the B2S program, at termination of the program and at 3-month follow-up. Also, researchers will compare reports on psychological difficulties, quality of life, and school related-self efficacy at baseline and after the intervention. Researchers investigate participants experiences with the program through qualitative interviews with youths, caregivers, teachers and service providers. The researchers further aim to prepare and establish resources and infrastructure for a large intervention study, and to establish a well-functioning cooperation between researchers, research organizations, and municipalities in different regions.
