Study Notes
Core Principles in Mental Health Research: Measurements & Scales
-
Learning Objectives: Review core measurement principles, questionnaire design, and psychometric properties. Understand challenges in diverse populations, including outcome measurement.
-
Responsiveness: The questionnaire's ability to detect changes over time and between groups. Defined by stakeholder agreement on important differences (e.g., clinicians and patients), or using statistical measures like standardized response means from pre/post comparisons.
-
Precision: The usefulness of score variability across respondents. Floor and ceiling effects, where scores cluster at one end of the scale, reduce usefulness.
-
Appropriateness: Questionnaires should be appropriate for the specific study and population. This considers factors such as feasibility, cultural validity, language, and appropriateness to the target population and its experiences.
-
Cross-Cultural Validity: Measurement invariance across cultures is important. Scales should perform the same way across various groups. Processes include instrument translation, back-translation, and qualitative exploration of meanings. Cultural validation ensures the instrument captures the target population's specific experiences.
-
Challenges in Diverse Populations: Research on diverse populations (e.g., minorities) can face challenges in recruitment, measurement development, and representation. Important aspects of minority contexts may not be addressed in existing measures or samples. Issues like racism and discrimination may have significant impacts that are not accounted for in existing measures.
