There were missing data (Additional file 1: Table A1), but largely for low cost items, and established statistical techniques were used for imputation.
The final study conducted was different in its validation approach and involved looking at potential relationships between specific networking items and established psychosocial variables used to evaluate undergraduate research experiences.
Among those reporting drinking alcohol in the previous 12 months, the following statistics were systematically assessed for all possible combinations of three or four AUDIT items and established AUDIT variations: Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency), variance explained (R) and Pearson's correlation coefficient (concurrent validity).
On the other hand, establishing fair coordination mechanism (Table 2, item 11: 27.91%), designing and employing the network performance indicators (Table 2, item 3: 21.23%), and establishing communication models and channels (Table 2, item 12: 19.94%) still occupied higher percentages not developed and deserved to been made the focus of more efforts in the future.
Second stage was the empirical selection based only on the obtained statistical or psychometric properties of the items in the main sample to derive the final item pool and establish the targeted scales.
Stage 1 – to identify the impact of joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) on adults; Stage 2 – to develop a questionnaire to assess the impact of JHS; and Stage 3 – to undertake item reduction and establish the questionnaire's concurrent validity.
However, to re-write MBS item descriptions and establish clinical parameters for a scan to be performed, where none was included previously, requires substantial engagement with medical and imaging stakeholders.
Other items, like health care reform and establishing a revamped national energy policy and a financial services regulatory plan, will take longer.
The final study looked at potential relationships between specific networking items and the established psychosocial variable of project ownership through a series of binary logistic regressions.
The test's limited number of items and the established high accuracy of the original English version [ 7] suggest that the implementation in daily practice may not be major problem and that the percentage of unnecessary urological referrals will be limited.
