CLEAR RESEA Intervention Rating Icon Key

There are four RESEA intervention causal evidence ratings, which are indicators of intervention effectiveness:

  • High

    High intervention evidence rating
    • At least 2 credible* impact studies each have found…
    • Favorable impacts on employment and UI duration…
    • With a strong degree of statistical significance (p<.05)

  • Moderate

    Moderate intervention evidence rating
    • At least 1 credible* impact study has found…
    • Favorable impacts on employment and (either that same study or another study has found) favorable impacts on UI duration…
    • With a modest degree of statistical significance (p<.10)

  • Potentially Promising

    Potentially promising intervention evidence rating
    • At least 1 impact study (not necessarily credible)…
    • Found favorable impacts on employment or UI duration…
    • With a modest degree of statistical significance (p<.10)

  • No Rating

    No Rating
    • No impact studies of the intervention exist (yet), or
    • Impact studies exist, but none show statistically significant favorable impacts on the specified outcomes (…more research is needed)
* “Credible” impact studies are those that received High or Moderate study causal evidence ratings, which describe the strength of the methods used by the study and how well the study was carried out. These study ratings reflect CLEAR’s level of confidence in the study’s estimates of impacts.
