Particular strengths of adapting an existing WHO responsiveness concept and measurement approach are noted first.
Adopting the responsiveness concept, the Responsiveness in Perinatal and Obstetric Health Care Questionnaire questionnaire (ReproQ) was developed by adapting the existing generic World Health Survey questionnaire responsiveness module into a questionnaire dedicated to maternal experiences during perinatal care.
✓ = tested; ✗ = not tested; * Reported in Cano et al 2004 [ 6]; ** Reported in Cano et al 2006 [ 28]; *** Although not including MID in our responsiveness paper (Cano et al, 2006 [ 28]), we include a comparison of relative responsiveness to existing PROs used in CD research in order to increase the interpretability of CDIP-58 change scores against these measures.
In spite of the existing strengths of the Responsiveness concept and measurement approach, our study contributes to addressing some of the challenges of the Responsiveness concept and its measurement approach.
Utilizing existing data, we examined responsiveness from parenting assessments in women who exhibited a variety of smoking patterns during pregnancy, including spontaneous quitting.
Therefore, the findings of a systematic review of 31 articles describing 27 self-report instruments used to evaluate bullying are a reason for concern (Vessey et al. 2014) – the review reports only "limited evidence supporting the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of existing youth bullying measures" (pg. 819).
Because there is no existing quantitative measure of social responsiveness in chimpanzees, we generated a quantitative, cross-species (human chimpanzee) social responsiveness measure.
We evaluated the accuracy and responsiveness of the existing Indices for use in depressional wetlands and refined reference definitions and recalibrated thresholds relative to stressor gradients to maximize index performance.
If not, how shall we deal with the validity and responsiveness findings of existing literature, research, and clinical routine?
Another plausible explanation is poor responsiveness of the existing HRQoL instruments in the 'new' settings they have been applied.
