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.

Title of the article: After Menopause, Weight Affects Breast Cancer Rates More than Mammography Use
Women who are overweight or obese after menopause face an increased risk of breast cancer, but a large prospective cohort study indicates that the frequency of mammography use and screening accuracy are not the primary explanations for higher rates of breast cancer in these women. The same is true of large, invasive breast cancer tumors and advanced stage disease; risk increases with weight, but higher rates are not explained by the frequency or accuracy of screening mammography before breast cancer was diagnosed. The study appears in the December 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues gathered data on 287,115 postmenopausal women who were registered in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium database. Reflecting a trend in the…

- 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. Study Arm Average Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHG) Sample Standard Deviation Sample Size Birth Control 124 6.8 246 No Birth Control 116 4.3 267 Carry out the appropriate statistical procedure to determine if there is a significant difference in the systolic blood pressure between the two groups of women.

She found that women with higher cortisol responses to stress ate significantly more sweet food and consumed more calories on the stress day compared with those with low cortisol responses, and compared with themselves on lower stress days. Increases in negative mood in response to the stressors were also significantly related to greater food consumption. These results suggest that psychophysiological responses to stress may influence subsequent eating behavior. Over time, these alterations could impact both weight and health. You are interested in studying whether college juniors or college sophomores consume more calories.

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.

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).
