If I am measuring the life satisfaction of a group of young mothers, and I find the t-test score of pre and post-test is slightly greater than 1.96, I wonder if this result rejects the null hypothesis?

I wonder if after conducting the mean comparison of pre- and post-tests, I find the p-value is large than 0.05. Then what does it mean?

In a new-immigrant mother group, I hope to compare the means scores of depressive symptoms before and after the intervention. I wonder which type of t-test I shall use?

Hi, I am afraid I disagree with a previous post that “the pandemic will worsen hidden youth’s situation.” You see, now everyone is asked to stay at home, and hidden youth no longer face pressure from their parents or society to go out, which might reduce their stress level.

The outbreak of coronavirus pandemic and social distancing measures might make “hidden youth” even more isolated from society. Our center’s cyber outreaching team is considering online engaging those youth and look for participants who would like to accept interviews. May I ask which sampling method is the most appropriate?

Hello, I find a scale measuring loneliness that has not been used in Hong Kong among older adults. Can I translate it by myself? And then use it in my program evaluation?

Under the chronic pandemic, older persons in residential care might feel increasing loneliness as family members cannot visit them in person. I see a news report that some residential homes have used robots for virtual visits, hence I plan to compare the loneliness levels of older persons between those who virtual visits and those who do not. What kind of research design can I employ?
