Enhancing Statistical Competence in Andrology: Outcomes of an Online Medical Statistics Training Program

Purpose

This study evaluates the impact of a structured online medical statistics webinar on researchers in andrology, both clinicians and non-clinicians. The objectives were to: 1) emphasize the critical role of statistical literacy in medical and biomedical research, 2) evaluate participants' baseline knowledge, 3) determine the impact of the webinar on knowledge acquisition and satisfaction, and 4) analyze the influence of gender and institutional setting on learning outcomes. Materials and Methods: The Global Andrology Forum (GAF) conducted a webinar comprising four expert-led lectures on medical statistics and male infertility research. Participants completed three online surveys evaluating baseline characteristics, pre- and post-course knowledge, and satisfaction.
