Using a qualitative research design by intensively interviewing twenty-eight high school students whose records indicate poor attendance habits, this study focuses on the students' perspectives of explanations for absenteeism. The twenty-eight students were enrolled in two suburban high schools demographically similar. The students were enrolled during the 1984-85 school year.
