1. The Wilcoxon signed rank sum test The variables under consideration here are the pre_total scores and the post_total scores. H0: There is no difference between the total scores of depressions among adults before intervention and the total scores of depressions among adults after intervention. H1: There is a difference between the total scores of depressions among adults before intervention and the total scores of depressions among adults after intervention. Ranks N Mean Rank Sum of Ranks totalPost_score - totalpre_score Negative Ranks 90a- Positive Ranks 32b- Ties 11c Total 133 a. totalPost_score < totalpre_score b. totalPost_score > totalpre_score c. totalPost_score = totalpre_score Test Statisticsa totalPost_score - totalpre_score Z -6.064b Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) .000 a. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test b. Based on positive ranks. The ranks table show that 90 adults had a higher depression score than after the intervention, 32 adults had a higher depression score after the intervention, 11 adults did not show change in their depression scores. The Wilcoxon signed rank sum test showed that, there is a significant difference between the total scores of depressions among adults before intervention and the total scores of depressions among adults after intervention (Z = - 6.064, p < 0.001) at 0.05 significance level. This imply the intervention was significant. Descriptive Statistics N Mean Std. Deviation Minimum Maximum Percentiles 25th 50th (Median) 75th totalpre_score- - totalPost_score- .00 27.00 - The descriptive statistics table also show that the median before intervention and after intervention are not equal indicating that the intervention was significant.
