A core group of researchers (SC, MW, JvL, and SL) developed the prototypes of the instruments, and discussed and refined it in meetings with the project partners.
The first researcher (CP) coded the items in the selected instruments and discussed ambiguous items with a second researcher with experience in linking to ICF-CY.
The Delphi panel reached consensus that no gold standards exist for HR-PRO instruments, and discussed whether criterion validity should be mentioned at all in the COSMIN checklist.
I will overview the DES project, which achieved 'first light' in September 2012 and which began survey operations at the end of August 2013, describe early results from commissioning and science verification of the instrument, and discuss the plans and goals of the survey.
Next, we present our newly developed assessment instrument and discuss its strengths and limitations, including evidence of its reliability and validity for assessing case-related PCK.
In this study we examine the validity, reliability and responsiveness to change of this new instrument, and discuss the value of the shortening of HRQoL instruments for oncology studies.
Any study must specify which psychiatric instrument was used and discuss its strengths and weaknesses when interpreting results.
Now, John Zarnecki of the Open University at Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, who heads one of Huygens's instrument teams and discussed the results at a press conference here, thinks it's more likely that the sticklike device hit one of the many ice pebbles that are also seen in Huyges's surface pictures.
We discuss these things on the go, so it is rarely the case that one says, stop, we put all the instruments down for a moment and discuss the situation before we continue.
