Preferred term

clinical significance  

Definition

  • Clinical significance (CS) refers to methodology developed to estimate the meaningfulness of observed change following an intervention (Hansen & Lambert, 1996). It is more stringent than statistical significance, as it requires changes to be both statistically significant and meaningful within a social context.
