Measuring the Master Adaptive Learner
Sally A Santen, Adam Funk et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2026
PURPOSE: The Master Adaptive Learner (MAL) is a model describing the collective skills of planning, learning, assessing, and adjusting that may translate into continually improving clinical proficiency. The objective of this study was to develop a MAL assessment instrument to measure these skills. METHOD: 1,427 students completed the 36-item candidate MAL instrument. The authors performed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on half of the dataset. …
Latent Classes of Comorbid Substance Use and Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms and Their Stability in U.S. Adults Over Time
Courtney Blondino, Courtney T Blondino et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2025
Introduction The co-occurrence of mental disorder symptoms is common in people who use substances. It is unclear whether patterns of comorbidity in a population-based sample of adults are consistent with prior work. The study goal was to identify this comorbidity structure and evaluate its stability over time.Methods Using Waves 1, 2, and 3 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study, this study applied latent class analysis to ident…
A new treatment approach to conduct disorder and callous-unemotional traits
Open AccessNicholas D Thomson, Salpi S Kevorkian et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025
Findings revealed that youth with CD and key stakeholder groups rate Impact VR favorably and positively. Future research is needed on the effectiveness of Impact VR in improving emotion recognition and reducing CD symptoms

Insomnia symptoms and the risk of all-cause mortality among stroke survivors
Open AccessWendemi Sawadogo, Tilahun Adera et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
Insomnia symptoms were associated with an increased risk of death especially in male stroke survivors younger than 65 years of age. Future studies should explore the benefit of insomnia symptom management in stroke survivors
The Weight of Racial Discrimination
Open AccessKristal Lyn Brown, Anika L Hines et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2022
BACKGROUND: Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) emerging adult (EA) women are at disproportionate risk for obesity but experience limited benefit from behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs. Race-related stress could play a role; the goal of this study was to examine the association between racial discrimination (RD) and early (3 months) changes in adiposity, and to explore potential protective factors, among EA in an adapted BWL program. METHODS: ). At base…
A Question of Scale? Comparison of Generalizability in Ottawa and Chen Scales When Used to Formulate Ad Hoc Entrustment Decisions for the Core EPAs
Michael S Ryan, Rebecca Khamishon et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021
Purpose: Assessment of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities (Core EPAs) is based on observations of supervisors throughout a medical student’s progression toward entrustment. 1,2 In our previous work, we examined performance of the Ottawa Clinic Assessment Tool (Ottawa) 3 when used to measure medical student performance of the Core EPAs in the workplace setting. 4 The findings from that study demonstrated poor generalizability of the Otta…
Generalizability of the Ottawa Surgical Competency Operating Room Evaluation (O-SCORE) Scale to Assess Medical Student Performance on Core EPAs in the Workplace
Michael S Ryan, Alicia Richards et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021
PURPOSE: Assessment of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency (Core EPAs) requires direct observation of learners in the workplace to support entrustment decisions. The purpose of this study was to examine the internal structure validity evidence of the Ottawa Surgical Competency Operating Room Evaluation (O-SCORE) scale when used to assess medical student performance in the Core EPAs across clinical clerkships. METHO…
Evaluating the Reliability and Validity Evidence of the Rime (Reporter–Interpreter–Manager–Educator) Framework for Summative Assessments Across Clerkships
Michael S Ryan, Bennett Lee et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021
PURPOSE: The ability of medical schools to accurately and reliably assess medical student clinical performance is paramount. The RIME (reporter-interpreter-manager-educator) schema was originally developed as a synthetic and intuitive assessment framework for internal medicine clerkships. Validity evidence of this framework has not been rigorously evaluated outside of internal medicine. This study examined factors contributing to variability in R…

The Impact of Parental Incarceration on Psychopathy, Crime, and Prison Violence in Women
Open AccessNicholas D Thomson, F Gerard Moeller et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Offender…2020
There is a growing interest in understanding the consequences of parental incarceration. Unfortunately, research exploring the long-term criminological and personality effects in female offspring is limited, particularly among second-generation female offenders. In a sample of 170 female offenders, we first assessed the correlations between psychopathy facets, prison violence, and types of crime. Next, we tested the association between childhood …

On the Validity of the Shortened Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (Realm) Scale as a Measure of Health Literacy
Levent Dumenci, Robin K Matsuyama et al.ARTICLECommunication Methods and Measures2013Citada por: 2Referencias: 1
Originally developed to measure the literacy level of patients, the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) scale is one of the most widely used instruments to measure the construct of health literacy. This article critically examines the validity of the REALM as a measure of health literacy. Logical analysis of content coverage led to the conclusion that scores on the REALM should not be used to make inferences about a person's leve…
