Planned missing data in early literacy interventions: A replication study with an additional gold standard.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In a digital early literacy intervention RCT, children born late preterm fell behind peers when in a control condition, but outperformed them when assigned to the intervention. Results did however not replicate previous findings. Replication is often complicated by resource quality. Gold Standard measures are generally time-intensive and costly, while they closely align with, and are more sensitive to changes in, early literacy and language performance. A planned missing data approach, leaving these gold standard measures incomplete, might aid in addressing the origin(s) of non-replication.

Methods

Participants after consent were 695 p Dutch primary school pupils of normal and late preterm birth. The high-quality measures, in additional to simpler but complete m
