PMHealth Workshop 2022
PMhealth workshop – Psychometrics and Metrology in the health sciences 2022
The 2022 PMhealth workshop in Psychometrics and Metrology in the health sciences will be held at Kristianstad University on June 13-15, 2022.
The workshop starts at 13.00 Monday June 13th and ends at lunch on Wednesday June 15th.
The international guest at PMhealth 2022 is Antoine Regnault from Modus Outcomes, a division of THREAD (UK/France/USA), where he is the global statistics lead. Antoine has longstanding experience within the field of health outcomes measurement, both as a biostatistician and within measurement methodology and applied psychometrics, and is a highly respected applied psychometrician. One of his special interests is the use and implementation of mixed-methods in outcomes measurement.
In addition, we are pleased to announce that Jeanette Melin and Leslie Pendrill (RISE, Sweden) together with Stefan Cano (Modus Outcomes, a division of THREAD; UK/France/USA) will deliver a special half-day seminar based on their work within the Euramet/EU funded NeuroMET2 project.
The first part of the workshop (lunch-to-lunch June 13-14, 2022) commences with a seminar by Antoine Regnault on the theme Rasch measurement theory in a mixed-methods framework for person-centered health outcomes measurement on Monday afternoon, June 13. During the morning of June 14, Jeanette Melin, Leslie Pendrill and Stefan Cano will follow up with a seminar entitled Man as measurement instrument, Construct specification equations (CSE) and Reference measurement procedures (RMP).
The second part of the workshop (lunch-to-lunch June 14-15, 2022) will consists of presentations and issues for discussion by and for participants. All participants are therefore encouraged to present and discuss current methodological issues, problem areas, observations or other points of general interest from their outcome measurement related work.
These presentations are expected to contain an initial brief presentation of the issue at hand so that everyone is introduced to the issue. The presentation form is free; PowerPoint may be used but is not required. The presentation is followed by an open discussion where everyone is encouraged to contribute. The aim that everyone will be able to learn something. Each topic will be given 45-60 minutes, of which the discussion part is expected to dominate. If you have something you wish to present and discuss, please contact Kristofer Årestedt (kristofer.arestedt@lnu.se), who is responsible for the program.
