Hello, I comprehend that the p-value informs us if there is a significant statistical difference between the two groups of elderly women and men, but it doesn’t reveal how large the difference is. Is there a way to find out?

The results of an independent t-test on the average life satisfaction scores of senior men and women indicate a p-value greater than 0.05. Can we infer that there is no variation between the two groups?

he pandemic has had a significant impact on many older adults, particularly those living alone. To avoid becoming infected, they may stay at home and experience hunger or malnutrition. Our center is exploring the option of providing door-to-door food delivery services to elderly individuals who live alone, decreasing their exposure to the virus. As we are still in the early stages of planning this new service, do you have any recommendations?

In relation to that, I’ve realized that quantitative methods may not be adequate for understanding how older adults interpret their experiences with sexual needs or related services. Should I consider including in-depth interviews in my data collection?

Can I infer that different levels of elder mobility are caused by the availability level of barrier-free facilities?

Due to the increasing elderly population, there is a heightened focus on barrier-free facilities. If I plan to explore the connection between the availability of such facilities and elder mobility, should I make elder mobility an independent or dependent variable?
