VCCC Alliance Biostatistics Online Workshop

What is the difference between statistical significance and clinical significance and how do you make decisions about the real-world relevance of either? 

Designed for the non-statistician, it will explore ideas such as:

• defining your research question using the PICOT framework;
• the importance of effect sizes and confidence intervals;
• how to interpret confidence intervals and P-values and;
• interpretation and misuse of P-values, including selective reporting.

Facilitated by Professor Julie Simpson and Dr Karen Lamb.
