Mild
Hi.
May I replace 'mild' in:
"
studies of school-based prevention programs
(Catalano et al., 1998; Howard et al., 1999), which range
from the use of metal detectors and playground activities
to overall school organization and philosophy, have found
mild positive outcomes at best"
with 'weak'?

I would not recommend it. "Mild" is deliberate; "weak" is inadvertent. I sense a bit of sarcasm here, and "weak" would not carry it.
