  1. a February scores for 100 mcg (4000 IU)/day were lower (better) than in the 15 mcg (600 IU)/day group by two-tail t-score p = 0.072; Mann-Whitney p = 0.072; these 2-tail values are equivalent to 1-tail significance.
  2. b Paired t-test, December score vs February Score p = 0.097; or non-parametric Sign test, p = 0.109.
  3. c Difference between dose groups by t-test p = 0.047; by Mann-Whitney test p = 0.072 (this 2-tail value is equivalent to 1-tail significance)
