We explored criterion validity for the measure of the extent of research utilization, a general measure of the impact of research use often utilized in the literature,[ 8] by examining Spearman's rank correlation between its influence dimension and more specific measures of change in approach to preventing or treating a clinical condition.
While the number of studies examining research utilization has increased significantly in the past decade, the majority continue to examine research utilization as a general construct or instrumentally [ 8].
It will, however, to some extent depend on the utilization of the general capacity of the system.
However, other studies reported a high utilization of general practice services among patients with low-SES and by non-native patients [ 10, 27, 28].
Although hydrological modelling is a key method to determine soil water conditions for a large number of aims, for instance the utilization of fen soils, general estimators of water retention that reflect the progressive nature of fen soil alteration are rare.
One of the main concerns of the authors during this project was the considerably limited amount of publicly available information for a number of countries on the procurement and utilization of evidence in general and, more specifically, their formal approach to unpublished data.
Sample 2: The cohort of patients aged 60+ at the local general hospital was used to address aims 2 and 3 (to compare readmissions and the utilization of the local general hospital between the two municipalities).
In model formulation, the utilization of general time proportional deterioration and partial backlogging rates makes the scope of the application broader.
Then, a novel method for characterizing the consistent parameter set based on homothety is offered; the proposed method allows for the utilization of general compact and convex sets for outer-bounding.
Due to considerable differences in oxygen demand, average power consumption was found to be at 0.51 kW m−3 (itaconic acid) and 2.61 kW m−3 (lysine), thus arguing against the utilization of general rule of thumb values.
