After participating in this workshop, learners will be able to:

  1. Identify three types of reliability (inter-rater, test-retest, and internal consistency);
  2. Match types of reliability with appropriate statistical measures;
  3. Describe the relationship between reliability and validity;
  4. Describe multiple forms of evidence for validity;
  5. Select an approach to reliability and validity assessment for a particular study.

Recordings will be made available for viewing following the completion of each workshop. Viewing of recordings may not be substituted for participation in live workshops.
