173. A critical situational public health campaign reports that a new intervention increased a desired outcome from 5% to 10%, with a p-value of 0.001. What is the urgency for a biostatistician to highlight both relative and absolute differences?

  • To only focus on the p-value.
  • To urgently explain that while statistically significant, the absolute increase is only 5 percentage points, which might be less impressive than the relative increase, and to frame findings transparently.
  • To ignore the absolute difference.
  • To assume all significant findings are large.
