Case Study 14-2

A health educator wants to evaluate the effect of a dental film on the frequency with which children brush their teeth. A random selection of 8 children are used for the experiment. First, a baseline of the number of times the children brush their teeth over a month's period is established. Next, the children are shown the dental film and again the number of teeth brushings are recorded for a month. The following data are recorded.
