Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 22   EBP 3158 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Measures Must Measure What Is Intended

Captions available

The idea

The instruments a study uses are checked for whether they measure what they are meant to and do so consistently.

In practice

An instrument with established reliability and validity chosen over an ad hoc one.

Where people slip

Unit 04 defined validity and reliability for the appraiser. The designer's version is choosing instruments that already have them.
