Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Chapter 13 Rigor and Interpretation in Quantitative Research

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Interpretation and Quantitative Results The statistical results of a study, in and of themselves, do not communicate much meaning. Statistical results must be interpreted to be of use to clinicians and other researchers.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Interpretive Task Involves addressing six considerations: –The credibility and accuracy of the results –The precision of the estimate of effects –The magnitude of effects and importance –The meaning of the results –The generalizability of the results –The implications of the results for practice, theory, further research

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Inference and Interpretation Interpreting research results involves making a series of inferences. We infer from study results “truth in the real world.”

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Question Is the following statement True or False? Statistical results provide the most meaningful means of communication about a study’s results.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Answer False Rationale: Statistical results do not, in and of themselves, communicate much meaning. They must be interpreted to be of use to others.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

The Interpretative Mindset Approach the task of interpretation with a critical—and even skeptical—mindset. Test the “null hypothesis” that the results are wrong against the “research hypothesis” that they are right. Show me!!! Expect researchers to provide strong evidence that their results are credible—i.e., that the “null hypothesis” has no merit.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Credibility of Quantitative Results Proxies and interpretation Credibility and validity Credibility and bias Credibility and corroboration

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins CONSORT Guidelines Reporting guidelines have been developed so that readers can better evaluate methodologic decisions and outcomes. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) include a flow chart for documenting participant flow in a study.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Question Is the following statement True or False? A researcher supports inferences that he or she wishes others to make, based on the research results, by ensuring study validity.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Answer True Rationale: Inferences of the type the researcher wishes people to make are supported by rigorous methodological decisions, minimization of threats to study validity, good proxies or stand-ins for abstract constructs, elimination or reduction of bias, and efforts to find corroborating evidence.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Precision and Magnitude Results should be interpreted in light of the precision of the estimates (often communicated through confidence intervals) and magnitude of effects (effect sizes). Considered especially important to clinical decision making

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins The Meaning of Results If the results are credible and of sufficient precision and importance, then inferences must be made about what they mean. An interpretation of meaning requires understanding not only methodological issues but also theoretical and substantive ones.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Meaning and Causality Great caution is needed in drawing causal inferences— especially when the study is nonexperimental (and cross-sectional). Critical maxim: –CORRELATION DOES NOT PROVE CAUSATION.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Interpreting Hypothesized Results Greatest challenges to interpreting the meaning of results: –Nonsignificant results –Serendipitous significant results –Mixed results Because statistical procedures are designed to provide support for research hypotheses through the rejection of the null hypothesis, testing a research hypothesis that is a null hypothesis is very difficult.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Question Is the following statement True or False? In a nonexperimental study, correlation and causation are the same.

Copyright © 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Answer False Rationale: In a nonexperimental study, correlation does not prove causation.
