Introduction Law 12.303/10 requires hearing screening in newborns before hospital discharge to detect possible hearing problems within the first three months after birth. If the newborn fails the test or presents signs of risk for hearing loss, it must undergo a retest and monitoring during the first year of life. In practice, this often does not happen. Objective To identify, in a group of mot...

Studies of test-retest reliability for health-related quality of life instruments have used varying intervals between test administrations. There is no evidence available to aid in the selection of the time interval between questionnaire administrations for a study of test-retest reliability for health status instruments. We compared the test-retest reliability at 2 days and 2 weeks for four kn...

Low students’ learning outcomes and retention are among the problems in learning. An innovation process is thus needed to solve problems. The effect of Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review Read (PQ4R) model integrated with a mnemonic-based module one useful alternatives overcome This study aims address question on how integration between PQ4R affects retention. used an experimental ...

OBJECTIVE Self-reported information from questionnaires is frequently used in epidemiological studies, but few of these studies provide information on the reproducibility of individual items contained in the questionnaire. We studied the test-retest reliability of self-reported diabetes among 33,919 participants in Norwegian Women and Cancer Study. METHODS The test-retest reliability of self-...

Although within-person comparisons allow direct assessments of change, some of the observed change may reflect effects associated with prior test experience rather than the processes of primary interest. One method that might allow retest effects to be distinguished from other influences of change involves comparing the pattern of results in a longitudinal study with those in a study with a ver...

This project aimed to assess the consistency of hypnotizability over repeated assessments when measured by Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSS:C), and Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS) contrast score distribution pleasantness these scales. University students were administered either SHSS:C or EHS twice with a one-week delay separate experimenters. Test–retest reliability was ...

The SCAN is a popular screening test that was developed to provide a rapidly administered, standardized method for determining the potential of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) in children between the ages of 3 and 11 years. It can be administered in 20 minutes with a portable stereo cassette player and contains three subtests: filtered words (FW), auditory figure ground (AFG), and c...
