QualityAssurance
• Steps in Quality Assurance– Specify study hypothesis– Specify general design to test study hypothesis
(study protocol)– Choose and prepare specific instruments (develop
operation manuals)– Train staff (certify staff)– Using trained staff, pretest and pilot-study data
collection– If necessary, modify 2 and 3

Key features of study design (1989 Kahn and Sempos)
• Formulation of the main hypothesis• A priori specification of potential confounding variables• Definitions of the characteristics of the study population• Definition of the design strategy for internal validity• Definitions of the design strategy for reliability and validity• Specifications of the study power• Standardization of procedures• Activities during data collection• Data analysis• Reporting of data

Some quantitative measures of validity and reliability
• Validity– Sensitivity– Specificity– Predictive value positive– Predictive value negative
• Reliability– Youden’s J statistic– Kappa scores

Kappa Statistic
• po = observed probability of concordance between the two surveys
• pe = expected probability of concordance between the two surveys
• The standard error of the Kappa statistic is calculated by:
• To test the hypothesis Ho:=0 vs. H1:0, use the test statistic:
