P values have become the scapegoat for a wide variety of problems in science. P
values are generally over-emphasized, often incorrectly applied, and in some
cases even abused. However, alternative methods of hypothesis testing will likely
fall victim to the same criticisms currently leveled at P values if more
fundamental changes are not made in the research process. Increasing the general
level of statistical literacy and enhancing training in statistical methods
provide a potential avenue for identifying, correcting, and preventing erroneous
conclusions from entering the academic literature and for improving the general
quality of patient care.
