Question

8. Which statistical test is appropriate to analyze the data for the study below? A researcher want to evaluate the effectiviness of a new eating disorders prevention program in a University. Students who attend a series of campus programs about eating disorders are given a survey that asks about their eating patterns. Approximately 6 months after the prevention program, participants are contacted and asked to complete the same survey. Researcher wants to test whether students reported healthier eating patterns after participation in the program. (The data are not normally distributed.)

Answer 1

This can be reasonable to ask of a person taking the program but we are humans and our diets don’t necessarily go off a program that we take because some days people might eat better then other. All depends on what that person likes, the time they have to make or get food and the expense of it
