In Tait et al.

Someinterventions have included reflections surrounding mental health [19], in-class discussion [20],watching videos or consuming media [21], or designing products that promote mental health[22].

: Intervention group (2) is currently ongoing (8th graders taking Algebra), and intervention (3)will start a few months after (8th graders taking pre-Algebra). The data from these twointerventions will be analyzed for trends and correlations to inform how and when theseinterventions are the most appropriate. The author hopes this work is a precursor to studying how STEM interventions affect thecommunities where they are applied and would help personalize the project types and the levelof content needed to maximize interest in STEM.
