Interpretation of Coefficients

This page will help you write an interpretation of an estimate that considers both its substantive and statistical significance.

Interpretation requires assessing whether the effect would be large enough to be important if it turned out to be exactly right. "Important" can mean important for patients, for public health, or for scientific understanding. Similar assessments are also needed for the confidence bounds. Use the pull-down menus to provide these assessments.

When you have filled in all the values, suggested text appears below the table. You can change the values and the text will be rewritten appropriately. You will likely need to customize the text to match your particular situation.
