Using data from the HSE University longitudinal study Trajectories in Education and Careers (TrEC), Ilya Prakhov, Olga Kotomina and Alexandra Sazhina determined which forms of family engagement in the school are useful and which are harmful to the student.

The students surveyed for this study were in the ninth grade in 2012 and by 2015 were in universities and colleges or on the labour market.
