The prevalence of multimorbidity is dependent on the study design and operationalizations, i.e. the cut-off point (e.g. if multimorbidity is defined by a minimum of 2 or 3 diagnoses), the spectrum of diagnoses included in the studies and the data source (e.g. general population or patients from general practice).
Thus, although the characteristics of the abuse and the gender of the victim seem to matter findings from studies that investigated the differential impact of various kinds and settings of child sexual abuse have also generated inconclusive results, likely partly because of differences in study designs and operationalizations.
The research methods used for the evaluation were: The literature review and desk research helped the team understand the objectives, rationale, operationalization and outputs/outcomes of the programme and provided the basis for conceptualization of the study design and tools.
Study design and management committee.
Although comparing the number of studies with positive versus negative findings ("vote-counting") has several limitations, poor operationalization of the constructs and the large heterogeneity in study designs and measurements prevented us from carrying out a meta-analysis.
The design and operationalization of the TESA Website in May 2010 facilitated above networking activities, communication and circulation of information about activities and courses, and linkage with international organizations.
These findings have raised a number of important design and operationalization issues but also highlighted issues which will require further public engagement.
By aiding the design and operationalization of highly implementable guidelines, our goal is that application of GLIA may help improve health outcomes.
By aiding the design and operationalization of highly implementable guidelines, our goal is that application of GLIA may help to improve health outcomes, but further evaluation will be required to support this potential benefit.
Three study design characteristics impact the magnitude of elasticity of organic growth drivers: using cross-sectional data instead of panel data, using growth rates instead of absolute change as operationalization of growth and using market share instead of sales as a measure of revenues.
