Ebola Survey
For this assignment we were asked to look at the Ebola survey, created with Google Forms, recently posed to P3 pharmacy science students. Here is the data set that represents the results from questions 26-31. The design of the study was a pre-post, where students completed the survey, sat through an information session about Ebola, then took the survey again.
The research question was did the intervention have any impact on the knowledge, skills or attitudes of the students?
In order to answer this question we need to compare the descriptive data and t-test results of the pre-test means for each question to the post-test descriptive and t-test results.
The first task of this assignment was to identify the variables. The first variable is an independent variable which means that it is the variable that causes change. For this problem, the independent variable is the lesson given to the students about variable. The dependent variable is the item that changes and in this problem it is the scores of the students.
The data shows that the T-Test is very high indicating that there is no significant difference in the scores. There were some scores that were high and some that were low which indicates that the information session that was presented to the students did not make that big of an impact.
In short- The informational session on Ebola seems to be unsuccessful.
