I understand that Medians should be reported when writing results of Wilcoxon rank-sum test. For example:
"For alcohol users depression levels were significantly lower on Wednesday (Mdn = 7.50) than on Sunday (Mdn = 16.0), p = .012, r = −.45."
But suppose that p=.012 but Mdn=7.50 on Wednesday and Mdn=7.50 also on Sunday, but the Mean= 6.45 on Wednesday and Mean = 14.56 on Sunday.
How do I report results? How would be the text in the example then? Because depression levels are indeed lower on Wednesday, but results should be reported using Medians..
