Description
The recent study by Cunningham, Lewis, Curnow, Glazner, and Massie [1] on the attitudes of respiratory physicians and clinic coordinators towards cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier screening drew several unsupported conclusions because the α level of 0.05 was not corrected for the large number of hypothesis tests conducted, leading to a Type 2 error and the acceptance of hypotheses that were likely false [2].
