In Study 1, educational attainment was evaluated using end-of-semester examinations designed by local educational authorities; whereas in Study 2, better-constructed and identical tests were administered at the beginning and end of the academic year.
Goal attainment is evaluated during the second and third interview by asking youths to what extent the earlier reported goals have been achieved.
Goal attainment was evaluated at 3 monthly intervals for one year, then re-evaluated again at year 2. GAS was found to be a feasible and responsive method of measuring community health promotion and community development progress.
Psychometric properties were evaluated in reviews of goal attainment scaling in various research areas [ 33, 36, 37]: Reliability was found to be good (ICC = .88 -.88).88
The attainment of CP was evaluated in aliquots taken hourly from a synchronous culture aerated at 30°C in the dark.
Since φ ≥ 1, the attainment of a country is evaluated as φ-1 ≤ 1. Best practice countries have φ-1 = 1, other countries have φ-1 < 1, so φ provides a basis for acomplete ranking of countries on their relative ability to deliver five health system outputs.
We first show that the conclusions drawn from the longitudinal analysis of IRHI will be sensitive to the choice between attainments and shortfalls if IRHI is evaluated in relative terms because the two approaches embody fundamentally different vertical equity judgements.
Attainment of palliative treatment goals was evaluated at screening, week 4, end of follow-up, and the last study visit, and attainment of preventive treatment goals at each treatment and follow-up visit.
To evaluate the forgiveness criterion, the success of target attainment for each simulated patient was evaluated with a perfect adherence profile and an imperfect adherence profile.
Based on the observations during the tests, drift levels at the different limit states have been evaluated, with the attainment of large values for the solid specimen (0.30%, 0.50% and 1.75% at the operation, damage limitation and ultimate limit state, respectively), but lower performance for the panel with opening.
