This may include the number of participants, demographic information such as age and gender as well as the method of recruitment. (ie a random sample or a convenient sample).

Results should be expressed as means or medians and the spread of the results indicated as ranges, standard deviations or 95% confidence intervals as appropriate. Probability values must be included, but are not sufficient of themselves without descriptive statistics (means, etc).
