Looking for ideas about use of videos in CBR research. Can videos be used as a "data collection method" and thus, later analysed for results? How do you help persons with disabilitiesat community level involved in CBR programme, to make "research videos"?

Government run as opposed to privately run programs

What criteria do you use to decide which number will be in control and treatment group?

Community based research incorporates researchers with academics and community members. But in many cases orchestration of the team in the same frequency needs skill-based coordination. There are other novel challenges we face.

Does it needs its own field? Our studies in Finnish Academy of Fine Arts are not under the science of Philosophy (human science), they are finding the own status and place!

I am planning to write a paper about the knowledge/awareness/perception of community-based rehabilitation, so I would like to know anyone who has used to do similar research or view the similar or related questionnaire before. Thanks

I am creating a disease specific knowledge questionnaire, but my adviser is pushing for a community sample. I am new to test creation but from my understanding I need either a patient sample or expert sample (e.g. physicians, nurses, NPs...). Without either said samples I don't believe I can actually validate the measure. I will be proposing to conduct item analysis type statistics (item discrimination, item difficulty) but with a community sample I might get a very general low score on knowledge. Therefore, I'm trying to determine if there are analyses or ways to gather initial validation data. Any ideas or places of reference I could seek out would be helpful.

Thank you!

Hi Colleagues,

Can someone help me with a scale for measuring the performance  or performance indicators (objective and subjective) in the healthcare industries ie hospitals?
