Thanks for the clarification, José. -ml

Perhaps  using the percentage of good habit already known as a lower
bound p(known), test a hypothesis Ha: p(new)>p(known) vs H0:
p(new)=p(known), using the at risk of improving.
p(known) is the best (highest) you have just before your new hypothesis testing.

Svend: The researcher who asked me about this likes the idea of reporting CIs and forgoing the explicit hypothesis test.

José: Unfortunately, it looks like the server ate the first line of your post so I'm not certain what you're suggesting. Is p(known) the pre-intervention proportion of adopters, is it an external estimate, or is it something else? If it's the first, I'm not sure I could justify that as a benchmark.

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.

Michael

Cheers,
José Maria
