Textbook Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 56E
The paper titled “Music for Pain Relief” (The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, April 19, 2006) concluded, based on a review of 51 studies of the effect of music on pain intensity, that
“Listening to music reduces pain intensity levels … However, the magnitude of these positive effects is small, the clinical relevance of music for pain relief in clinical practice is unclear.”
Are the authors of this paper claiming that the pain reduction attributable to listening to music is not statistically significant, not practically significant, or neither statistically nor practically significant? Explain.

You are conducting a study to analyze gender differences in neurocognitive impairment (NCI) within a sample of cocaine-dependent methadone-maintained patients. You found 3 demographic characteristics that produced significant effects on NCI. They are gender, race, and age.
Please answer both parts a and b.
a) What statistical analysis would you use to see simultaneously the contributions of socio-demographic variables (gender (male/female), race (White, Black, Latino, Asian), and age (in years) on self-reported NCI, a normal continuous outcome (higher scores indicate higher NCI)?
b) How many independent variables will there be in your model? Describe (1) what they are, (2) how you would create them, and (3) interpretation for each coefficient.
Recently there has been quite a bit of controversy about the lack of definitive knowledge about the adverse side effects associated with hormone-based birth control usage. Suppose a researcher is interested in the effects of birth control in women aged 18-25 relevant to blood pressure. The researcher assumes that women in this demographic that are taking hormone-based birth control are at risk for increased blood pressure. Assume the following table contains the summary statistics of two SRSs, one from a cohort of women taking hormone-based birth control, and one from a cohort of women birth control free.

The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis.

- Since this research focuses on sleep habits in college students and its effect on mental health, we have proposed the research question to be what the prevalence of college student's mental health issues are due to poor sleeping habits.Previous research has shown that anxiety and depression can be two indicators of poor sleep habits in college students (Becker et al., 2018). As mentioned before, college students are also at risk of developing poor sleep habits because, as freshmen, they transition into a more significant workload than they are accustomed to doing. They are also given more freedom with their time. So, we predict a relationship between mental health and low amounts of sleep-in students. In contrast, the alternative outcome is that there will be no mental health problems arising as students lose sleep for long periods. Since getting good sleep allows us to function better throughout our days, we will likely see the impact bad quality and quantity of sleep will have on…arrow_forwardSince this research focuses on sleep habits in college students and its effect on mental health, we have proposed the research question to be what the prevalence of college student's mental health issues are due to poor sleeping habits.Previous research has shown that anxiety and depression can be two indicators of poor sleep habits in college students (Becker et al., 2018).

In addition, surveys have shown that college students tend to drink more than their peers who do not attend college. You want to test to see if there are differences in excessive alcohol use in young adults that attend college versus those who do not, so you surveyed 405 young adults, age 19 to 22, about their alcohol use by asking the question, "Have you consumed alcohol to the point of intoxication at least once within the past month?" with the following results.

In the study, 338 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (a possible precursor to CD) were randomly assigned to either receive steroids immediately or to wait until they developed further CD symptoms. Data were collected a year after randomization. In addition to evaluating whether CD developed, data on race, blood tests measurements (continuous), and the number of visits to the doctor in the last year were also collected.arrow_forward

What conclusion can you draw from the output? The data provide sufficient evidence to reject H0 and to conclude that the mean depression score for male teens is larger than that of female teens. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that male and female teens do not differ in mean depression score. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean depression score of male teens is larger than that of female teens.
