Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine if an in-school breakfast program could increase attendance and the on-task behaviors of 10 male high school students. The effects of the in-school breakfast program were examined in a vocational high school setting. An ABAB design was employed to assess the effects of the in-class breakfast program. Results show that an in-school breakfast program was effective in increasing on-task behaviors each time it was in effect. Small positive changes in attendance were also found. These outcomes indicate that an in-school breakfast program may positively influence on-task behaviors of high school students in a vocational setting.
