Compared to statistical significance, little attention is paid to the importance of “clinical relevance” in scientific research. In this short course, the role clinical relevance plays in sample size determination (power), describing the results, and statistical testing is dealt with. Special attention is paid to determining relevance in questionnaire-based patient-related research. Students learn to determine and define a clinically relevant effect, and how to apply this information during several stages in the scientific process.
