  2. This paper suggests that the #HoNOS has limited utility for capturing psychopathology or monitoring progress in forensic outpatient settings
    tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10
    Some items differentiated btw diagnostic groups, but limited evidence for use of 1 (to 3) summary scores

    I admit having limited love for the instrument since our work on its use in secondary #MentalHealth care link.springer.com/article/10.1

  18. @guyjantic If you have not only one, but multiple questions, several item response models extend this logic by assuming a latent continuous variable:
    they evaluate whether the responses to the questions can be reconstructed as ordered responses - and ordered in this case meaning 'with reference to this latent variable' (e.g., does being more in favour of rights for pregnant people consistently align with choosing higher categories in the individual question responses).

  19. Mentally preparing for being discussant for the panel "Making Routine Outcome Monitoring Very Brief" organised and moderated by Danilo Moggia.

    We'll see psychometric data in different settings and groundwork for #itembanks and #crosswalks going well beyond single-item assessments.

  20. Another #PeerReview finished.

    Paper ~ 2000 words
    Review ~ 1500 words
    Duration ~ 2 hours

    I am still a fan of what #IRT #ItemBanking methods can deliver in the space where items can be reduced to one (or multiple linked) dimensions.

    Just highlighting this visionary paper that inspired me during the time of my PhD greatly
    rdcu.be/dku0h
    and where we until today have done little to reach the full potential of such applications.

  21. @pgmj Interesting. I struggle to find any #CTT in there, but that probably depends on where one chooses to put categorical data factor models; and whether CTT approaches are considered to be latent variable models or not.

    I would agree that it does not cover #IRT models in general, or #RaschModels in particular.

  24. Paper presenting an #Rstats toolbox for score-based measurement invariance tests in item response models
    link.springer.com/article/10.3

    The paper offers a review of formal definitions, a workflow, and works as a meta-package using the psychotools, mirt & strucchange packages.

  25. A paper introducing a new IRT approach to estimate meaningful thresholds to accurately interpret questionnaire scores and facilitate clinical decision making:

    In this approach an anchor item indicating the criterion state of interest is added to #IRT model estimation. In simulation studies the method perfectly recovered threshold values on the latent trait with practically no bias and high precision:

  29. A #SysReview of quality of life and #HRQoL instruments used in trials of interventions for adults with alcohol use disorder:
    jsatjournal.com/article/S2949-

    One of the interesting findings:
    Although the team focused on the most frequently used instruments they found only very few studies reporting psychometric properties in this population.

    This mirrors findings from our broader #SysReview of #HRQL as an outcome in substance and behavioural addictions
