Example of Proximal-Distal Projection using Outcomes in 5th Grade

	Intervention Group	Comparison Group
Proximal School Outcomes in 5th Grade (fraction)
A1: Student suspended at least once & student attended school less than150 days in the prior school year	0.05	0.14
A2: Student suspended at least once & student attended school at least 150 days in the prior school year	0.07	0.17
A3: Student never suspended & student attended school less than 150 days in the prior school year	0.09	0.07
A4: Student never suspended & student attended school at least 150 days in the prior school year	0.79	0.63
Distal Outcomes
Fraction not expected to complete high school if:
A5: Student suspended at least once & student attended school less than150 days in the prior school year	0.55	0.55
A6: Student suspended at least once & student attended school at least 150 days in the prior school year	0.30	0.30
A7: Student never suspended & student attended school less than 150 days in the prior school year	0.25	0.25
A8: Student never suspended & student attended school at least 150 days in the prior school year	0.15	0.15
Lifetime earnings ($ millions, present value) if:
Does not complete high school (A9)	2.02	2.02
Completes high school (A10)	2.83	2.83
Expected earnings ($ millions, present value)
[(A1×A5)+(A2×A6)+(A3×A7)+(A4×A8)] × A9 + [A1×(1-A5)+A2×(1-A6)+A3×(1-A7)+A4×(1-A8)] ×A10	2.68	2.64
