Hypothesis testing Sleep Disturbance‐23 and Sleep‐related Impairment‐11
| We expected that: | Mean difference in T‐score (95% confidence interval) a | |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep Disturbance−23 | Sleep‐related Impairment−11 b | |
|
1. The sleep‐clinic sample had higher scores than the high‐school students |
10.6 (8.1–13.1) | 8.6 (5.2–11.9) |
|
2. The adolescents with sleep problems and/or relevant health issues had higher scores than healthy high‐school students |
4.8 (3.5–6.2) | 5.3 (3.5–7.1) |
|
3. The high‐school students with relevant health issues had higher scores than healthy high‐school students |
2.7 (1.2–4.2) | 4.0 (2.0–6.0) |
|
4. Adolescents who answered item Sleep20 ‘I had a sleep problem’ with a higher response category, would have higher scores |
||
| ‘Not at all’ versus ‘A little bit’ | 6.1 (5.1–7.1) | 4.5 (3.0–6.0) |
| ‘A little bit’ versus ‘Somewhat’ | 2.2 (0.9–3.4) | 3.9 (1.7–6.1) |
| ‘Somewhat’ versus ‘Quite a bit/very much’ | 5.2 (4.0–6.5) | 3.2 (0.6–5.7) |
A mean difference of ≥2 points was considered clinically relevant.
