Discrepancy in Frailty Identification: Move Beyond Predictive Validity

Predictive validity of a two-step tool to map frailty in primary care.

BACKGROUND EASY-Care Two step Older people Screening (EASY-Care TOS) is a stepped approach to identify frail older people at risk for negative health outcomes in primary care, and makes use of General Practitioners' (GPs) readily-available information. We aimed to determine the predictive value of EASY-Care TOS for negative health outcomes within the year from assessment. METHODS A total of 5...

Self-discrepancy: Long-term test-retest reliability and test-criterion predictive validity.

Long-term test-retest reliability and predictive test-criterion evidence of validity of scores on measures of the real-ideal self-discrepancy and of the real-ought self-discrepancy were tested over periods of 1 year and 3 years. A sample of 184 undergraduates completed at 2 time points 1 year apart 3 instruments that each measure the 2 self-discrepancies: the idiographic Self-Concept Questionna...

Early identification of dementia: predictive validity of the clock test.

Various clock scoring procedures have been developed in recent years as dementia screening measures. The current longitudinal study was developed to assess the predictive validity of the Clock Test (Tuokko, Hadjistavropoulos, Miller, Horton, & Beattie, 1995). Within a sample of subjects who initially did not meet dementia criteria, Clock Test scores (drawing, setting, and reading) distinguished...

A Predictive Validity Study

A topic of long-standing interest for university administrators and faculty is how to help rst-year college students succeed academically. On average, only 73.6% of college freshman return for their sophomore year (National Center for Higher Education Management Systems [NCHEMS], 2007). Although academic success in college requires some preexisting capabilities, these abilities do not always di...
