School absence: A health perspective
Abstract
Excessive school absence may result in difficulty in completing academic work, being retained in grade, or dropping out of school prior to high school graduation. Frequent or prolonged absence may be an indication that a student has a serious physical or emotional health problem, that he or she is engaged in problem behaviors with potentially serious health and social consequences, that other family members have physical or psychological problems, or that the student is reacting to an unfavorable school environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
