About

The aim of this observational study is to explore how the "Pé-de-Meia" Program, a policy of the Brazilian Federal Government designed to encourage the retention and completion of studies by students from low-income families, affects both the students' tendency towards delay discounting and their academic performance. The study seeks to answer the following questions:

How does the "Pé-de-Meia" Program affect the students' propensity for delay discounting? Is there a relationship between the level of delay discounting among students, their academic performance, and school attendance? Participants in the study, high school students enrolled in the "Pé-de-Meia" Program, will undergo assessments to measure their level of delay discounting. The academic performance and school attendance of the participants will be monitored and analyzed in relation to their propensity for delay discounting
