Patient-reported outcome measures using Rasch-Analysis – An introductory approach
If you work or are planning to work with questionnaires in your research this event is likely to be interesting for you. The speaker is a world-renowned expert in Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS), Professor Konrad Pesudovs from Adelaide, Australia.
We expect that after this event a network of researchers will get basic knowledge to apply the principles of modern psychometric methods to develop and to validate questionnaires (PROMS).
PROMS are used in several areas such as vision sciences, optometry, ophthalmology, nursing and psychology. The topics that are going to be covered are likely to be of interest to other areas such as education.
