Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As both an academic instructor in questionnaire design and a research design methodologist for the federal government, I feel this book is very timely, useful for students and practitioners, and unique in its use of real world practical examples that most everyone can relate." —Terry Richardson, General Accounting Office "The combination of theory and practical application will make this a useful book for students as well as professionals who want to learn how to incorporate cognitive interviewing into the questionnaire design process." —Rachel Caspar, RTI International The design and evaluation of questionnaires—and of other written and oral materials—is a challenging endeavor, fraught with potential pitfalls. Cognitive Interviewing: A Tool for Improving Questionnaire Design describes a means of systematically developing survey questions through investigations that intensively probe the thought processes of individuals who are presented with those inquiries. The work provides general guidance about questionnaire design, development, and pre-testing sequence, with an emphasis on the cognitive interview. In particular, the book gives detailed instructions about the use of verbal probing techniques, and how one can elicit additional information from subjects about their thinking and about the manner in which they react to tested questions. These tools help researchers discover how well their questions are working, where they are failing, and determine what they can do to rectify the wide variety of problems that may surface while working with questionnaires. Cognitive Interviewing is ideally suited as a course text for advanced undergraduate and graduate research courses across the social sciences. Professional researchers and faculty in the social sciences, as well as practice fields such as medicine, business, and education, will also find this an invaluable reference for survey research. There is no other book on the market that covers cognitive interviewing as applied to questionnaire design.

Download or read book Validity and Measurement Bias in Three Self-report Measures of Physical Activity Among Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer written by Marilyn Fay Johnson-Kozlow and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated criterion-related validity and measurement bias of three self-report measures of physical activity among women diagnosed with breast cancer. The 7-Day Physical Activity Recall (PAR), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the physical activity items developed by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI-Q) were compared. The study was conducted at the University of California, San Diego study site among Women's Healthy Eating and Living Study participants. Women (N = 159, average age 57 years) wore an accelerometer for one week and then completed the WHI-Q and were administered by telephone either the IPAQ or PAR. Time spent in moderate, vigorous and total physical activity was obtained from accelerometer and self-report measures. Criterion-related validity was evaluated as the Spearman rank-order correlation between accelerometer and self-report score. The proportion meeting the American College of Sports Medicine physical activity guideline (Pate et al., 1995) by self-report measure was compared to accelerometer and screening statistics computed. Measurement bias was defined as self-report minus accelerometer score; this bias could be either an over-estimate or an under-estimate of physical activity. The correlation coefficients for the PAR and WHI-Q moderate and total physical activity scores were highest (.65 to .73) compared to the IPAQ (.26 and .33). Vigorous score correlations did not differ by self-report measure (.47 to .59). The PAR had the highest sensitivity (100%) and specificity (84%) compared to the other measures. Moderate physical activity was over-estimated on the IPAQ by 239% (225 min/week) compared to 11% on the PAR. Over-reporting of vigorous physical activity on the WHI-Q was associated with increasing body mass index. Increasing under-reporting of moderate and total physical activity was associated with decreasing age on all measures but with body mass index on the WHI-Q only. Social desirability was not significantly associated with measurement bias. The study found clear differences between the self-report measures: the WHI-Q was comparable in validity to the PAR while the IPAQ had lower validity and also significant over-estimates of moderate physical activity. Using the accelerometer as the criterion against which self-report scores were compared was discussed as a limitation of this investigation.

Download or read book Research Methods in Physical Activity and Health written by Stephen R. Bird and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity is vital for good health. It has an established strong evidence base for its positive effects on functional capacity, reducing the risk of many chronic diseases, and promoting physical, mental and social well-being. Furthermore, these benefits are evident across a diversity of ages, groups and populations. The need for these benefits in current societies means that exercise practitioners, professional bodies, institutions, health authorities and governments require high quality evidence to establish appropriate exercise guidelines, implementation strategies and effective exercise prescription at individual, group and population levels. Research Methods in Physical Activity and Health is the first book to comprehensively present the issues associated with physical activity and health research and outline methods available along with considerations of the issues associated with these methods and working with particular groups. The book outlines the historical and scientific context of physical activity and health research before working through the full research process, from generating literature reviews and devising a research proposal, through selecting a research methodology and quantifying physical activity and outcome measures, to disseminating findings. Including a full section on conducting research studies with special populations, the book includes chapters on: Observational and cross-sectional studies; Interviews, questionnaires and focus groups; Qualitative and quantitative research methods; Epidemiological research methods; Physical activity interventions and sedentary behaviour; and Working with children, older people, indigenous groups, LGBTI groups, and those with physical and mental health issues. Research Methods in Physical Activity and Health is the only book to approach the full range of physical activity research methods from a health perspective. It is essential reading for any undergraduate student conducting a research project or taking applied research modules in physical activity and health, graduate students of epidemiology, public health, exercise psychology or exercise physiology with a physical activity and health focus, or practicing researchers in the area.

This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements.
