Q

ex:
Experimental and control groups. ROM measurements taken and improvement was calculated. Reported are the mean improvement (SD) = 16.4 (5.7) degrees for the treatment group, the mean improvement (SD) = 1.0 (5.2) degree for the control group, p-value = 0.001.
1. Null is mean improvement of treatment group was ____ the mean improvement in control group.
2. Which SHT would they have applied?
3. Based on p-value, would they have rejected the null?

A
  1. Null is mean improvement of treatment group was THE SAME AS the mean improvement in control group.
  2. Which SHT would they have applied?
    Independent t-test
  3. Based on p-value, would they have rejected the null?
    reject

Q

ex:
Data were matched between pre and post sessions and change was tested using SHT.
mean (SD) = 9.2 (11.7) for the outcome in pre session
mean (SD) = 17.0 (19.3) for the outcome in post session
p-value = 0.025
1. Null is mean improvement of treatment group was ____ the mean improvement in control group.
2. Which SHT would they have applied?
3. Based on p-value, would they have rejected the null?

A
  1. Null is mean improvement of treatment group was THE SAME AS the mean improvement in control group.
  2. Which SHT would they have applied? Paired t-test
  3. Based on p-value, would they have rejected the null?
    Reject

Q

EX of mixed ANOVA: Patients’ quality of life associated with their chronic low back pain was measured repeatedly (at baseline, 3 months, 6 months) hypothesizing that the factor, treatment 1, would have effect of improving their quality of life associated with low back pain.
What is the outcome?
Measured how many times?
What is the factor/s?

A

What is the outcome?
quality of life associated with low back pain (continuous)

Measured how many times?
three times (baseline, 3m, 6m)

What is the factor/s?
factor 1 = treatment 1 (with / without)

Q

What SHT is used when a continuous outcome has been measured with a confounding variable for the purpose of adjusting for the confounder?

A

Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA)

17
Q 
EX of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA):
Patients’ level of low back pain was measured hypothesizing that the factor, treatment 1, 			would have effect of lessening the pain after adjusting for age.
What is the outcome?
What is the factor/s?
What is the cofunder?
A

What is the outcome?
level of low back pain (continuous)

What is the factor/s?
factor 1 = treatment 1 (with / without)

What is the cofounder?
age

18
Q

EX: A researcher designed a study for the effects of a new drug on hypertension measured once on a rest day and once on a work day. The study has one treatment group and one control group. The researcher wanted to study the treatment effect on hypertension that might be different between the rest day and the work day. Which version of ANOVA would be a best choice to test the effects of a new drug on hypertension that might be different between the rest day vs. work day?

A

Mixed ANOVA

19
Q

EX: A researcher designed a study for the effects of a new drug on depression. The study has two treatment groups and one control group. The researcher decided to measure the subject’s age also because she wanted to adjust for the age difference. Which version of ANOVA would be a best choice to test the effects of a new drug on depression adjusting for the age?

A

Analysis of covariance (adjusts for a cofounder)

20
