    This document provides a table of characteristics of women according to their intake of alcohol during pregnancy. It includes variables like age, education, smoking status, and pre-pregnancy BMI. The document then lists steps to complete a worksheet analyzing the data, including identifying appropriate statistical tests for different comparisons and answering research questions. Key findings are that mothers who drank tended to be older and more educated than non-drinkers, and a greater percentage of drinkers smoked during pregnancy. Differences in age and education between drinkers and non-drinkers were statistically significant. BMI values did not differ significantly between the groups.

    Module Six Worksheet

    Identification of Methods and Interpretation of Results

    Prompt:
    Review Table 1 below and then complete the Module Six Worksheet steps.

    Note: the chi-square (c2) test is covered in Module Seven.

    Note: intake of alcohol was during pregnancy except for prepregnancy BMI comparison where drinking
    status was also prepregnancy.

    *Continuous variables presented by mean + standard deviation, categorical variables as %


    ** Test statistic is either a 2 value or a t-value

    Steps:
    For this assignment, complete the following steps:

    1. Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Use
    Table 1 as your source of information. Use the provided completed cells in the matrix to help
    you fill in the rest of the cells.

    2. Write out a complete answer to each of the four research questions stated in the matrix. Be
    sure to state what is being compared and what group or groups did better and by how much.
    Also, state if the difference was statistically significant or not.
    A) comparison of pre-pregnancy BMI between drinkers and nondrinkers is made. Pre-
    pregnancy BMIs for drinkers and nondrinkers were 23.8 + 4.6 and 23.7 + 4.3, respectively.
    Statistics do not support the difference.
    B) Did the mother's age influence whether or not she drank alcohol? This difference is
    statistically significant at a mean difference of two years.
    C) Mothers who drink or don't drink are compared to mothers who smoked or didn't smoke
    while they were pregnant. The statistically significant difference between the two variables
    is 4.5%.
    D) Drinkers and nondrinkers are contrasted in terms of their levels of education for those older
    than 12 years. There is a statistically significant difference of 6.5% between the two
    variables.

    3. Were the values of BMI more varied among the women who drank or did not drink prior to
    getting pregnant? Explain how you know this.
     BMI values varied more among mothers who didn't drink than among those who did
    since the standard deviation for the non-drinkers group is 4.6 bigger than that of the
    drinkers group.
    4. Upload and submit your completed worksheet assignment.
