简要总结
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

Delay discounting measured by the Monetary Choice Questionnaire (MCQ).0.0 indicates an absence of discounting, meaning the individual values immediate and future rewards equally. This can be interpreted as a preference for delayed rewards or a long-term perspective. 0.5 indicates strong discounting, meaning the individual significantly devalues future rewards in favor of immediate ones. This is seen as an indication of high impulsivity.
