Abstract

This note presents one-year follow-up results from a large-scale cluster randomized trial in Danish public schools (Larsen and Simonsen, 2020). We combine the trial with survey and register-based data to investigate effects of a universal social emotional learning intervention, PERSPEKT 2.0, which was delivered to 4th and 5th graders in Danish elementary schools. Our findings corroborate the short-term results: PERSPEKT 2.0 did not affect school social well-being or academic performance. The null-findings hold for the population as a whole as well as across pre-defined subgroups.
