These states use a common scale and have qualitative indicators assigned to each level, allowing for observational data to be placed on a numerical scale (Blong 2003b).
Data like author, corporate source (university or company name), year, country and language of publication, concepts mentioned in the text, technology indicators assigned to the publication, etc. can be analyzed by using this software.
At Stage III, eight indicator sets were defined (i.e., indicator sets assigned to each of the four CAM features, separately considering direct interview and observational indicators).
To facilitate interpretation of results, each indicator was assigned to one of six categories representing the medical role of each variable in primary health care by a clinician.
According to a guideline cut-off point proposed in the literature [ 8, 9], questions were classified as problematic if 15% or more of responders had problem(s) with a question, i.e. at least one problem indicator was assigned to the question in 15% or more of the interviews.
All selected indicators were assigned to their specific LHU, for example if an indicator was available only at regional level its value was assigned to all LHU belonging to the considered region.
We ensured that the objectives and activities were relevant for achieving shorter and longer term goals, that the activities were planned on a realistic timeline, and that monitoring indicators were assigned to each activity.
An indicator value was assigned to the 12 species identified as the most representative of these environments.
To test this, we run intention-to-treat (ITT) regressions for youth I of the form: Employmen{t}_i=alpha +beta Trea{t}_i+gamma Mal{e}_i+delta hbox{S}_i+{varepsilon}_i, where Treat is an indicator for being assigned to the group that will be matched, Male is a dummy variable indicating the youth is male, and S i are the randomization strata dummies.
In addition, a Colorado River indicator variable was assigned to each record if the mother's residence received drinking water from the Colorado River.
Based on the performance of each indicator, the grades were assigned to the indicators which helped in designing the watershed scorecard.
