Key Concept Statement:
Description:
Ideal for graduate-level courses on measurement or research methods,
Measurement and the Measurement of Change: A Primer
for the Health Professions
provides a “gentle” introduction to and overview of complex measurement content. While this primer
assumes a basic understanding of statistics and statistical inference, the statistical content serves to enhance conceptual
understanding rather than to guide computations. Drawing on measurement theory and approaches from a variety of fields,
including psychometrics and clinimetrics, this important work provides unique information for health professionals who develop
new instruments, adapt existing ones, select instruments for use in clinical trials or in clinical practice, interpret information from
measurements and changes in scores, or undertaking a systematic review on instruments.
