Researchers can also design studies that will generate valid and generalizable research findings that can be acted on by these decision makers, not just studies that describe a problem or test new methods to describe a problem.
The availability of state test data has made it simpler and more cost-effective to conduct the sort of research that can produce strong (what researchers refer to as internally valid) and generalizable evidence.
Therefore, we believe that our results are valid and generalizable.
The PCQLI has been shown to be reliable, valid, and generalizable [ 8, 16].
Nevertheless, our findings remain valid and generalizable since pelvic diameters are not routinely measured during pregnancy.
Firstly, data from this study are valid and generalizable only at the provincial level, for Copperbelt and Luapula.
By introducing the study protocol we hope to stimulate other research groups to replicate and extend the design to ensure comparability between studies, and more valid and generalizable conclusions about the health impacts of implementing PBSP.
In all, despite these limitations, our results should be considered to be valid and generalizable to other rural contexts experiencing similar socio-economic development and degree of nutrition transition.
The aims of this study were to (1) assess the prevalence of sleep disturbances in Dutch healthy children, (2) describe sleep habits and problems in this population, (3) collect Dutch norm data for future reference, and (4) compare sleep in children from different cultural backgrounds with reliable, valid, and generalizable measures.
Hence conclusions are both valid and reliable.
