This type of research design involves repeated observations of the same variables over period of time.
What is longitudinal?
COI
What is Conflict of Interest?
This is the variable that is changed or controlled in scientific research.
What is the independent variable?
This type of validity refers to whether a procedure or test subjectively measures the concept it claims to measure (i.e., it looks like it measures what it is supposed to measure).
What is face validity?
In statistics, what does n refers to this.
What is the sample size?
This type of experimental design is used to reduce or eliminate bias by masking (some) information about the procedure.
What is blinded (or double blinded)?
HIPAA
What is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act?
In statistics, this is the measure used to quantify the amount of variation in a set of data.
What is standard deviation?
This type of validity refers the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships.
What is internal validity?
The process in which permission is obtained from a potential participant before conducting research.
What is informed consent?
This type of research design involves combining through data sets from many different research studies.
What is a meta-analysis?
CRF
What is CRF Case Report Form?
This term refers to the degree of agreement among multiple raters or assessors.
What is inter-rater reliability?
This type of validity refers to whether a procedure or test actually measures the concept it purports to measure.
What is construct validity?
This type of research involves studying a single individual in great depth.
What is a case study?
This type of research design observes a defined population at a sign point in time or time interval.
What is cross-sectional?
GCP
What are Good Clinical Practices?
This is a type of error that occurs when a sample isn’t representative of the population from which it is drawn.
What is sampling bias?
This type of validity refers to how well the conclusions of an experiment generalize to and across other situations, people, stimuli, etc.
What is external validity?
This type of correlation results when one variable goes up as another variable goes down.
What is a negative correlation?
This is a type of observational study in which two existing groups differing in outcome are identified and compared on the basis of some supposed fundamental attribute.
What is case-control?
CITI
What is Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative?
This is a type of variable that that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, causing a spurious association.
What is a confounding variable?
This type of validity refers to the extent to which a measure is related to an outcome.
What is criterion validity?
In statistics, this is the score at the middle of a distribution.
What is the median?
