The standardised variance explained by each item are all >0.50, except "knowledge", indicating adequate although not ideal convergent validity.
Theoretically, Pringle and colleagues identify twelve methodological attributes of an ideal indicator: validity, communicable, effective, reliable, objective, available, contextual, attributable, interpretation, comparable, remediable and repeatable (see Table 1 for definitions) [ 7].
Follow-up of a randomized trial is ideal for internal validity but requires extended time, may lack external validity, and is not useful for monitoring.
For Ferrara, it can ground a new ideal of universal validity "ultimately linked with the model of exemplary uniqueness or enlightening singularity thus far associated with 'aesthetics'" (Ferrara 1998: 10).
Whereas efficacy studies offer information about diagnostic validity under ideal conditions (i.e. disease status is known) effectiveness studies, offer practical information about the validity of the diagnostic test under usual conditions in a clinical setting [ 1].
Whereas triple-target self hybridisations are ideal for testing the validity of adding a third dye-labelled sample on an array, to further evaluate Alexa 594, we performed dual-target self hybridisations.
As mass spectrometry measurements improve in sensitivity to match immunoassay detection limits (pg/mL), a targeted and quantitative mass spectrometry application can provide multiplex capacity and absolute specificity by gas-phase sequence determination, making it an ideal alternative for assessing validity of selected marker candidates.
The ideal test of construct validity of this health equity plausibility algorithm is comparison with the criterion of whether there are real differences in effects by sex and socioeconomic status, irrespective of whether the instruments (systematic reviews and underlying studies) are able to detect these differences.
It would have been ideal to assess convergent validity by correlating SCI-R scores with scores on other instruments measuring aspects of diabetes self-care, such as the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) [ 8], a measure of the frequency of performing diabetes self-care tasks.
A problem, a breakdown in the system or dysfunction occurs when one partner abuses power in a relationship even as both parties have an implicit agreement (read "balance of power") that each party is equal to one another in terms of opportunity for leadership, decision making, use of resources and validity of ideals or principles.
