Finally, as satisfaction and perceived ease of use are two common criteria used for investigating the productivity of new software, threat (e) cannot be considered a risk to the validity of the results (Tanaka and Rocha, 2011).
However, as effectiveness and efficiency are two common criteria used for investigating the productivity of new techniques (Fernandez et al., 2010), this threat cannot be considered a risk to the validity of our results.
Inadequate reporting and industry sponsorship of these studies raise the possibility of bias and carry a risk for the validity of this review.
This paper will critically examine the utility of the TEQ/EQ approach for risk assessment, the validity of the assumptions used for this approach, and the problems associated with comparing low dose exposures to xeno and natural (dietary) endocrine disruptors.
The further adjustment of analyses for height, physical activity and diet had little impact on the estimated relative risks, strengthening the validity of the reported association between early life body fatness and breast cancer.
To verify the method's potential use as an early warning system for human risk, we calculated the validity of the model-estimated risk map versus the raw incidence map from August 13 for predicting the case distribution for October 1, 2003.
These differences in associations with risk factors support the validity of our definition of impaired median nerve conduction.
Our analyses of the covariates showed the expected dose response relationship with breast cancer risk, which substantiates the validity of our data.
Although not validated by Health Canada, studies on risk communication tools support the validity of SAM tests in this context [ 28, 29].
Given the limited evidence on suicide risk assessment in predicting risk levels [ 5- 7], more research are needed to investigate the validity of risk screening tools.
