Clinimetrics: Assessing Measurement Properties of Health Measurement Instruments (WV40)

Clinimetrics is the scientific discipline that aims to develop methods of assessing the properties of health measurement instruments,apply those methods to develop new, or evaluate existing, health measurement instruments, and develop and apply strategies to improve the quality of measurements.

You will be familiar with the important characteristics of research instruments and how to assess them appropriately. You will also be able to choose the measurement instrument that is most appropriate to their own research and to develop a new one.

The course is designed for healthcare practitioners and researchers who are active in medical, allied health, psychological, or behavioural research and who deal with the development, evaluation, and interpretation of health measurements.

On the first day of the course you will receive a course pack containing copies of all lectures, presentations and assignments. We use an interactive Learn Management System.
