INSTRUCTIONS:
>When we measure something, we want to make sure our measurement is credible and trustworthy. This is particularly true in healthcare, where health and well-being may vitally depend on it!
>This key quality of good measurement is known as validity. Are we really measuring what we think we are measuring? Or might we accidentally be picking something else (other than what we intended) in our measurements?
>Here’s an example from psychology. If we have a test intended to measure depression, is this what we are really measuring? Or might we accidentally be picking up anxiety instead?
>>**We will be working with this concept of validity and how we can assess it in our measurement instruments.In order to qualify for full participation points, you are asked to post your own thoughts on each topic.*******
>>**Here’s a resource that will be very helpful to you in understanding validity and reliability in research:
