= Statistical significance at p < 0.001 ” (very strong evidence that results are statistically significant)
Outcomes Data Tested for Statistical Significance: Outcomes data for parent programs have been t- tested for statistical significance. A t-test assesses probability levels, whether the mean differences between samples (pre and post) are statistically significant and not due to chance. The Circle of Parents Support Group data indicates that the probability of chance (p-value) for all the data samples from 2003 to 2011 is below .05 Therefore, we can conclude that there is a significant difference between the means (pre and post).
