The sample size of this contract is too low to do any statistical analysis. The data above shows our all-time wellbeing data, and the individual scores are comparable to these.

The SWEMWBS data above shows a halving of low well-being, a slight increase in moderate well-being and a more significant increase in high well-being. This shows Noise Solution acting as a catalyst to improve feelings of well-being at population levels.

Whilst the changes in population scores are important, what is more important is that there is an increase and that this increase is ‘meaningful’. The literature defines a ‘meaningful’ increase of two points or more using the SWEMWBS scale. With these samples, we saw 52% of participants achieving a meaningful change in their wellbeing scores of two points or more. Additionally, we see 63% of participants finish at or within a meaningful range of the national well-being average (an increase of 23%).

We carry out statistical analyses on our data to statistically determine whether or not what we are doing is likely to be successful. Our latest statistical analysis shows:

A p-value of <.0001 (using a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test). This means that it is massively statistically probable that our work had an impact; we have removed the element of chance.

An ‘R’ number of 0.586 (using Cohens scale). This means there was a ‘large’ range effect; we made a ‘large’ difference.
