This down-to-earth book provides practical advice, underpinned by theoretical principles, on developing and evaluating measurement instruments in all fields of medicine. It equips you to choose the most appropriate instrument for specific purposes. The book covers measurement theories, methods and criteria for evaluating and selecting instruments. It provides methods to assess measurement properties, such as reliability, validity and responsiveness, and interpret the results. Worked examples and end-of-chapter assignments use real data and well-known instruments to build your skills at implementation and interpretation through hands-on analysis of real-life cases. All data and solutions are available online. This is a perfect course book for students and a perfect companion for professionals/researchers in the medical and health sciences who care about the quality and meaning of the measurements they perform. 410 0$aPractical guides to biostatistics and epidemiology. 606 $aMedicina clínica$xMètodes estadístics$2lemac 606 $aAssistència sanitària$xAvaluiació$xMetodologia$2lemac 606 $aPsicometria$2lemac 606 $aMedical care$xEvaluation$xMethodology 606 $aClinical medicine$xStatistical methods 615 7$aMedicina clínica$xMètodes estadístics 615 7$aAssistència sanitària$xAvaluiació$xMetodologia 615 7$aPsicometria. 615 0$aMedical care$xEvaluation$xMethodology. 615 0$aClinical medicine$xStatistical methods. 676 $a610.72/4 700 $aVet$b Henrica C.
