Defining evidential support for clinical effects in occupational therapy through Bayesian calibration of the paired samples t -test

Key Points

• The study aims to assess Bayesian calibration for interpreting clinical effects in occupational therapy.
• Utilized Bayesian posterior probabilities to evaluate -tests for evidential support of clinical effects.
• Focused on recalibrating thresholds for interpreting within-subject outcomes in occupational therapy.
• Posterior probabilities for -values near 0.05 fell below 75% consistently.
• Recalibrated thresholds offer a sample size-sensitive interpretation tool for occupational therapists.
