Determinants of High-School Dropout: A Longitudinal Study in a Deprived Area of Japan.

CONCLUSIONS: Three determinants of high-school dropout were found: smoking, tardy arrival, and experience of severe problems. These factors were correlated and should be treated as warning signs of complex behavioral and academic problems. Parents, educators, and policy makers should work together to implement effective strategies to prevent school dropout. PMID: 29780058 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
