Abstract

The descriptive method of research was used involving 412 respondents. They were selected using purposive sampling technique. The researchers employed a self-made instrument to determine the factors associated with student absenteeism in the College of Medical Radiation Technology school year 2005-2006 at DLS-HSC. Statistical treatments used were frequency distribution, mean, percentage, t-test of uncorrelated means, standard deviation and ANOVA. From the given findings, the following conclusions were formulated: (1) Most of the respondents were male.
