本研究探讨了无家可归和学校流动性与教育福祉指标的独特和综合关联，以及缺勤的中介作用，为整个队列的三年级学生在费城。使用综合档案管理数据，从公立学区和市办公室的支持性住房，多层次的线性模型估计，以测试这些协会，同时调整嵌套的学生在学校内。研究结果表明，无家可归者有一个独特的关联与课堂参与的问题，学校的流动性是唯一相关的学业成绩和课堂参与的问题，经历无家可归和学校的流动性是最有害的两种形式的教育福祉。旷课被认为是部分调解无家可归，学校流动性和任务参与的问题之间的关系。研究结果为《麦金尼-文托无家可归者援助法》和移动的儿童教育政策的必要性提供了支持。
This study examined the unique and combined associations of homelessness and school mobility with educational well-being indicators, as well as the mediating effect of absenteeism, for an entire cohort of third-grade students in Philadelphia. Using integrated archival administrative data from the public school district and the municipal Office of Supportive Housing, multilevel linear models were estimated to test these associations while adjusting for nesting of students within schools. Findings demonstrated that homelessness had a unique association with problems in classroom engagement, school mobility was uniquely related to both academic achievement and problems in classroom engagement, and experiencing both homelessness and school mobility was the most detrimental for both forms of educational well-being. Absenteeism was found to partially mediate the relations between homelessness, school mobility, and problems in task engagement. Results provide support for the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and the need for educational policies for mobile children.
