Subgroups - Treatment of early stuttering

Jones et al. (2005) investigated the efficacy of the so-called Lidcombe therapy for the treatment of stuttering in early childhood. The study is a randomized trial on 115 children, comparing Lidcombe with treatment as usual (TAU). The significance level is set atα=5% two-tailed. Analyze the impact of the biological sex of the children on the therapy effect.
