Fig 1 — Fig 1.

Mean authorised and unauthorised absences over time by absence trajectory cluster.
Note. Linked MCS-NPD data, N = 7,218, weighted. CLA = Consistently Low Absence, CMAA = Consistently Moderate Authorised Absences, MIUA = Moderately Increasing Unauthorised Absences, SIAA = Strongly Increasing Authorised Absences, SIUA = Strongly Increasing Unauthorised Absences. Mean absences above 40% are truncated.

Fig 2 — Fig 2.

Differences in achievement by absence trajectory–adjusted for baseline and time-varying risk factors.
Note. Linked MCS-NPD data, N = 7,218, weighted. Reference category: Consistently Low Absence (CLA). CMAA = Consistently Moderate Authorised Absences, MIUA = Moderately Increasing Unauthorised Absences, SIAA = Strongly Increasing Authorised Absences, SIUA = Strongly Increasing Unauthorised Absences. Thick vertical lines indicate the 84%-Confidence Interval, and thin vertical lines the 95%-Confidence Interval.
