Treatment Plans

Please refer to the Kieckhefer et al. (2014) article and respond to the following questions:
• Discuss the results of the paired t test in Table 4. What is the significance of these findings?
• Explain why the intervention group effect sizes were greater among the least favorable quartile at baseline.
• Suppose that the research team was awarded an additional grant to study the efficacy of the BFS intervention among parents of children who were recently diagnosed with cancer. What changes might the team implement in the new study to: 1) increase the power; and 2) enhance the effect sizes for the treatment group?
