A #SysReview exploring impacts of community-based interventions for adults with #multimorbidity on clinical and patient-reported outcomes (25 studies):

We* investigated how QoL/ #HRQoL instruments were used as outcome measures in substance and behavioural addictions. We found similar issues as this team regarding wide variety of measures, lack of theory, and issues around methodological quality:

Great to see @hudsongolino.bsky.social presenting on AI-GENIE at #ISOQOL
Firstly, the community hears and uses the words "the #PrePrint is out" too rarely, and here it is:
https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/fgbj4_v2Second, it is great to see the strong theoretical underpinnings of exploratory graph analysis making their way into promising applications

Ugh. It's not done, yet.
The "enthusiasm" item feels like it's halfway to the "flair" interaction in Office Space. Force an undefined sufficient level of enthusiasm or lose your job.
"Command of the class" ?! This is offensive to me, at a gut level. I don't want to "maintain command" of any class. I'm there to teach. Students are there to learn. If neither of those continues to be true, we do something else. If behavior in the class makes learning difficult I might ask someone to change their behavior or--in extreme situations--ask them to leave (and in one or two instances I have left). I'm not trying to control others' behavior. I'm in a learning situation that is mutually beneficial; if it stops being that way, we stop doing it, that's all. My philosophy of higher ed (to the extent I have one) has no place for me to be an authority figure in any way beyond simply knowing some things others don't.
How do you treat all students with respect in a lecture? How do you even have an interaction with each student that allows for the possibility? Why is "respect for students" the only item about an instructor's interpersonal attitude or orientation toward students? I would expect something else, like dedication to their learning, commitment to providing them with an effective educational opportunity, recognition of their inherent worth as humans, etc. Of course the "respect" language is probably a shove toward the customer service model of higher ed, but it also feels like a slide toward "dominance" language (the number of times I've heard some thin-skinned blowhard demand "respect"...).
How does "maintaining command of a class" fit with "treating students with respect"? I don't feel respected by people who want to control me, and neither should students.
The final message, of course, is that I'm burnt out and have little desire to be part of the administrative system being increasingly worked into all cracks and crevices in the university experience at my school.

Do reflection test solutions actually involve reflection?
Our think-aloud studies found they usually do (https://doi.org/10.14264/0f12c1c), but Ryan Jesson found that solution-prompting insight is often unconscious or spontaneous.

New #AcademicYear - New #introduction
I am a researcher at #DundeeUni and interested in health-related quality of life
#HRQoL #PsychometricsI teach #ResearchMethodology and #ResearchMethods with a focus on #Quantitative methods.
I worked for 7yrs as a #NightshiftEditor and I am still mulling over roles in and sense of #AcademicPublishing
This is mainly a work account, but I also post #Dundee stuff such as #DunDeCofaidh and occasional #Deutsch #Svenska #Gaidhlig (👉 pure work account at BSky)

A #SysReview of quality of life and #HRQoL instruments used in trials of interventions for adults with alcohol use disorder:
https://www.jsatjournal.com/article/S2949-8759(25)00172-9/fulltextOne 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

This #CostUtilityAnalysis of 'academic detailing' to enhance naloxone distribution for opioid users (i) shows it potentially cost-effective at WTP of US$50,000 per #QALY and (ii) it used #UtilityScores developed from #NIDA shared data*
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40258-025-00991-8* To develop these we used National Institute on Drug Abuse-published #RCT data

Roughly 2 weeks left to submit to JPRO's #SpecialIssue
"Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement"
https://www.springeropen.com/collections/PPIE
#PPIEThe aim is to capture the use of Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (#PPIE) in Patient-Reported Outcome-related research, such as the development of PRO measures and electronic PRO (ePRO) systems, as well as the implementation of PRO measures for healthcare research and clinical practice.

The #PrismaCosmin #guideline
was published jointly in Quality of Life Research, J of Patient Reported Outcomes, Health and Quality of Life Outcomes & J of Clinical Epidemiology.As lead editors, Brittany Lapin and I offer some thoughts on content, process, and future

The four versions of the guidelines are published here:

More than 20 years in the making!
In 2002, Kahneman and Frederick informally reported "the bat and ball problem".
In 2023, Meyer and Frederick report 59 studies of the problem in just 9 pages: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2023.105380
5 initial take-aways and 2 things I like about this paper: https://byrdnick.com/archives/25863/the-bat-and-ball-problem-20-years-later

I work as an Assoc. Prof. at Pamukkale University on #EducationalMeasurement #Psychometrics field. I'm also a researcher at Boğaziçi University Adaptive Test Lab (#BATLAB)
My main research area includes #ItemResponseTheory (#IRT) #ComputerizedAdaptiveTesting (#CAT) and I'm happy to use #rstats and #Concerto for my studies.
I also want to add some personal tags: #PlayStation #PS #Xbox #Metal #Homebrew
