Answer to Question 1

Yes. Clinical significance addresses the degree to which the results are useful from both a patient and treatment standpoint. It is possible that a study yields statistically significant results that have little practical value. The magnitude of treatment effect, also termed effect size, is important. The larger the effect size, the more effective the treatment.
