Subclaims¶

q3 i0 The chronic medical condition group included more females (g = 0.33), the healthy group more minority students (g = 0.22), and the healthy group had higher reported parent education (g = 0.11); all differences had small effect sizes below d = 0.2 or near that boundary, and no differences were found for age or prior grades. → Kirkpatrick 2020

Kirkpatrick 2020¶

q3 · i0 · associational · r3

T-tests on demographic variables between the chronic condition (N = 629) and healthy (N = 897) subsamples (total N = 1,526), with Hedges g for effect size estimation. All differences "had a small effect size"; the printed g values (0.11, 0.33, 0.22) are at or below the small-effect boundary, coded 0.

"The reported parent level of education was higher for the healthy group of participants (t(1464) = 2.10, p = .014, g = 0.11). The chronic medical condition group included more females (t(1552) = –6.32, p < .001, g = 0.33). The healthy group included more students of minority status (t(1549) = 4.17, p < .001, g = 0.22)."
