This study reviewed the statistical practices in published research articles in the "Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk " to determine the reporting of effect sizes and structure coefficients. Of the 12 quantitative studies found in the last 3 volumes of the journal, only 3 were identified as using multiple regression analysis. Two of the three indicated use of effect size magnitudes, but the third reported only "F " and "p-" values. None of these articles gave structure coefficients. Reporting effect sizes highlights the difference between statistical and practical significance. The paper also recommends the use of "what-if " analysis when using regression.
