It includes both a way to describe the measures (and the rationale for their selection) and the means to build-in a Monitoring and Evaluation process to assess impacts once the measures are implemented.
Although different inequality measures express different dimensions, the rationale for choosing one measure over another is rarely the subject of reflection [ 17].
"In view of the potential cardiovascular risks," the editorial said, "and in the absence of evidence of other related advantages, except for laboratory measures of glycemic control, the rationale for prescribing rosiglitazone at this time is unclear".
Cameron rattled through his checklist of claims to be running a progressive, reforming administration – the "living wage", prisoner rehabilitation plans, anti-discrimination measures – all underpinned with the rationale that none of it would be possible without fiscal rigour.

These measures were chosen based on the rationale that physiological functions such as vision, proprioception, strength, reaction time, and postural stability are significantly associated with falls risk [ 18- 20].
The rationale for measuring concentrations of drugs in plasma, serum, or blood is that concentration response relationships are often less variable than dose response relationships.
The rationale for measuring curvature sensitivity during active movement was that PD patients could use information derived from an efference copy of their motor commands to predict the curvedness of their hand trajectories via the use of an internal forward dynamics model [31].
Therefore what is the rationale for measuring Hif1-α mRNA levels?
