Figure 3: Attitude towards biostatistics/biometry in general compared with West & Ficalora [6]
Describes the level of agreement with the 18 statements of physicians from Germany compared to participants from West & Ficalora’s study. Agreement is presented as mean (1–5): 1=“disagree”, 2=“agree a little”, 3=“moderately agree”, 4=“fairly agree”, 5=“strongly agree”. No information on standard deviations was available in the study by West & Ficalora, so this is only given for answers of the physicians from Germany. In total 301 persons participated in West & Ficalora’s study and 236 physicians from Germany participated in the present study. The number of participants varies for West & Ficalora’s study depending on the statement and is not shown for clarity. The x-axis describes the 18 statements (see Tab. 2, upper part).
