Factor analysis models with ordinal indicators are often estimated using a 3-stage procedure where the last stage involves obtaining parameter estimates by least squares from sample polychoric correlations. A simulation study involving 324 conditions (1,000 replications per condition) was performed to compare performance of diagonally weighted (DWLS) and unweighted (ULS) in procedure's third stage. Overall, both methods provided accurate similar results. However, ULS found provide more less...
The performance of parameter estimates and standard errors in estimating F. Samejima's graded response model was examined across 324 conditions. Full information maximum likelihood (FIML) compared with a 3-stage estimator for categorical item factor analysis (CIFA) when the unweighted least squares method used CIFA's third stage. CIFA is much faster multidimensional models, particularly correlated dimensions. Overall, yields slightly more accurate estimates, FIML errors. Yet, most...
Abstract Background Research efforts to measure the concept of healthy ageing have been diverse and limited specific populations. This diversity limits potential compare across countries and/or In this study, we developed a novel measurement scale using worldwide cohorts. Methods Ageing Trajectories Health-Longitudinal Opportunities Synergies (ATHLOS) project, data from 16 international cohorts were harmonized. Using ATHLOS data, an item response theory (IRT) model was used develop with 41...
The objective was to obtain a standardized evaluation of available prostate cancer-specific quality life instruments used in patients with early-stage disease.We carried out systematic literature reviews the PubMed database identify manuscripts which contained information regarding either development process or metric properties instruments. Each instrument evaluated by two experts, independently, using Evaluating Measures Patient-Reported Outcomes (EMPRO) tool. An overall and seven...
Objective To assess the accuracy of WMH-ICS online screening scales for evaluating four common mental disorders (Major Depressive Episode[MDE], Mania/Hypomania[M/H], Panic Disorder[PD], Generalized Anxiety Disorder[GAD]) and suicidal thoughts behaviors[STB] used in UNIVERSAL project. Methods Clinical diagnostic reappraisal was carried out on a subsample project, longitudinal survey first year Spanish students (18–24 years old), part WHO World Mental Health-International College Student...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a prevalent and debilitating condition. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can improve coping mechanisms for CLBP pain‐related outcomes. However, the by which they do so remain undetermined. We explored neural correlates of symptoms CBT action using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in women with comorbid depression. Methods: Forty individuals underwent fMRI followed 8 weeks either treatment as usual (TAU) or one two addition...
Background The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), a questionnaire designed for the assessment of mental well-being, is widely used in different countries and cultures worldwide. However, there lack studies examining its metric performance measurement invariance across countries. Objective This study aims to examine internal structure, reliability cross-country validity WEMWBS three European populations. Methods data collected 2016 from representative population health surveys...
