Measurement in Research

3 credits · Graduate School

In this course, the student will develop expertise in the design, measurement, and analysis of studies employing generic outcomes. The impact of the researcher's decisions regarding conceptual models, treatment definition, risk adjustment strategies, and the application of statistical techniques will be explored. The student will also be expected to critically evaluate key measures to develop an overview, including measurement and analysis plans for a condition-specific outcome related to their phenomenon of interest. At least one controversy attendant to each generic outcome will be debated in class. Prerequisite: completion of Research Design and Statistics I. [3] FALL
