Are you a medical researcher that studies the interactions between doctors and patients and in need of methodological support? If so then we can help!
As experts in quantitative and qualitative research methodologies with over 20 years of experience we can help you in any or all of the following areas below.
Using the optimal design to answer your research question will ensure that the results of your research are useful in helping you to answer your questions. We can support your research endeavors by ensuring you have considered all of the sources of variability that exist in your design and are using the most advantageous sampling schema and analytic approach.
The success of any research study is completely dependent on the instruments that you use to collect data, which in turn become the metrics that you will use in your analyses. In fact, determining what will be used to measure your variables is the most crucial decision of any research project to minimize error in your analyses. We can help to ensure that your variables have been thoughtfully defined and that your instruments are valid and reliable.
Obtaining quality results in any research project is dependent on using the most suitable statistical methodologies. In addition to helping you decide what statistical approach would best help you to answer your research question, we can analyze your data and provide you with an interpretation of the results.
In addition to conducting commonly used statistical approaches such as ANOVA, ANCOVA, and regression modeling we can help with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), and propensity score matching. We can also help you depict the trends in your data using the latest data visualization techniques.
Upon piloting or using data collection instruments, it is essential to determine their quality. analyze their properties to determine their quality. We utilize both classical and modern test theory to analyze your test or survey data, with respect to item analyses, reliability, and degree of measurement error. We can also help you design validity studies for your instruments so that you can be sure that you are truly measuring the variables that you have defined. Finally, we can conduct psychometric scaling studies, designed to scale both people and items on a common metric, using item response theory (IRT).
Developing the Numerical Understanding of Medicine Instrument (NUMi) with a group of research physicians. This instrument was designed to measure health numeracy in the adult population, which can be defined as a patient’s understanding of quantitative medical information. This project was funded by NIH and the American Cancer Society.
