Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6 EBP 0828 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Magnitude of Effect
Captions available
The idea
The magnitude of effect is the degree of difference — or lack of it — between the groups compared. The effect is the rate at which the outcome occurred in each.
In practice
Two groups, two rates, and the distance between them.
Where people slip
A study picks the outcomes on which it looks for a difference. Differences on outcomes it did not choose are not reported.
