* While the finding was statistically significant, the adjusted p-value based on Hommel’s multiple testing correction was 0.465 assuming these 15 tests as a family of hypotheses. If we made a less conservative assumption of five hypothesis tests as part of the family, the adjusted p-value was still not significant (p = 0.155).
