Problem:
This study investigated whether absent students whose homes received phone calls via a computer-activated message device had a better school attendance record than students whose homes were not called. 150 students in three high schools were randomly selected to receive the messages whenever they were absent. 150 students randomly selected students served as the control group. They did not receive any absence notification. After 60 days, the attendance records for the groups were compared. Results revealed that students whose homes were called were absent significantly less than students whose homes were not called.
