Inferential Statistics PT 2
Inferential Statistics PT 2 For this module of your SLP, you can use an article you used in a previous module's SLP paper, or choose a different one. The article must be no more than 5 years old. The article must include one or more of the inferential statistical procedures that you learned about in this module (that is, a t-test or ANOVA). Begin by providing the reference for the article, in proper format. Write an introductory paragraph that includes a reminder of what your topic is. Introduce and briefly describe the study in one paragraph. Then identify the following: • Null and alternative hypothesis • Sampling procedures • Independent and Dependent Variable/s • Alpha level • Outcome (significant results, or fail to reject null hypothesis) What 2 questions would you like to ask the researcher about the results? If you were designing your own study about this topic, what would your independent variable be? What would your dependent variable be? What would you expect to find? For example: males will be more likely to exercise than females ... something related to your own topic. ASSIGNMENT EXPECTATIONS: Please read before completing assignments. • Copy the actual assignment from this page onto the cover page of your paper (do this for all papers in all courses). • Assignment should be approximately 2 pages in length (double-spaced). • Please use major sections corresponding to the major points of the assignment, and where appropriate use sub-sections (with headings). • Remember to write in a Scientific manner (try to avoid using the first person except when describing a relevant personal experience). • Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is on independent thinking and critical analysis). Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. • When material is copied verbatim from external sources, it MUST be properly cited. This means that material copied verbatim must be enclosed in quotes and the reference should be cited either within the text or with a footnote. • Use of peer-reviewed articles is required. • Credible professional sources are used (for example, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, scholarly journals). Wikipedia is not acceptable.

Comparative effectiveness of a mindful eating intervention to a diabetes self-management intervention among adults with type 2 diabetes: a pilot study.

Introduction:
Today, the Diabetes self-management education program (DSME), particularly medical nutrition therapy (MNT) show high success in improving patient outcomes. Researches, however, show that there is a need to diversify intervention methodologies in order to meet diversity in patient population. Current studies shows that Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) is also proving to be successful at "well-being, including anxiety and depression, eating disorders, food cravings, and weight loss" ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "DOI" : "10.1016/j.jand.2012.07.036", "abstract" : "Mindful eating offers promise as an effective approach for weight management and glycemic control in people with diabetes. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is an essential component of effective self-care. Yet, little research has compared the effect of mindful eating to DSME-based treatment. This study compared the impact of these two interventions in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A prospective randomized controlled trial with two parallel interventions was used. Participants included adults age 35 to 65 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus for 1 year or more, body mass index (BMI) of 27 or more, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 7% or more who were randomly assigned to a 3-month mindful eating (MB-EAT-D; n=27) or Smart Choices (SC) DSME-based (n=25) intervention. Follow-up occurred 3 months after intervention completion. Dietary intake, physical activity, weight, HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose, and fasting insulin were assessed using repeated measures analysis of variance with contrast analysis. There was no significant difference between groups in the change in weight or glycemia at study end. Significant difference occurred between groups in the change in dietary intake/1,000 kcal of trans fats, total fiber, and sugars (all P<0.05). Mean (\u00b1 standard error) reduction in weight (-2.92 \u00b1 0.54 kg for SC vs -1.53 \u00b1 0.54 kg for MB-EAT-D) and HbA1c (-0.67 \u00b1 0.24% for SC and -0.83 \u00b1 0.24% for MB-EAT-D) were significant (P<0.01). Significant reduction in energy intake and glycemic load occurred (all P<0.0001) for both groups.

In order to show that MB-EAT is a viable alternative to DSME, researchers Carla K. Miller, Jean L. Kristeller, Amy Headings, Haikady Nagaraja, W. Fred Miser conducted a randomized controlled trial of these two interventions, with subjects diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Hypothesis
The hypothesis used in this study is that: "mindful eating intervention would facilitate greater weight loss than the DSME approach" ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "DOI" : "10.1016/j.jand.2012.07.036", "abstract" : "Mindful eating offers promise as an effective approach for weight management and glycemic control in people with diabetes.
