treatment effect evidence, the imprecision assessment for relative importance of outcomes scrutinise the confidence interval and the sample size. What is challenging is because diversified study designs, result presentations or methodologies are used, usually there is no confidence interval constructed, or there is not a simple way to calculate the minimum sample size with sufficient power to produce a narrow estimate for the relative importance outcomes.[53] 3.4.1.

Introduction In order to measure the potential real-world impact of research, it is important to measure validity. Validity explores the degree to which evidence and theory support the researcher’s interpretations of the various data the researcher measures (Moss, 2010). A researcher can evaluate a study based on many criteria including internal validity and external validity to determine whether the study is valid (Hernon, 1991). Among various types of validity, in particular, external validity

The question here is why do we as individuals tend to avoid, blame, or ignore the inadequacies within our lives.
