  • Enhancing comparability in early child development assessment with the D-score

    Open AccessS van Buuren, Iris Eekhout et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    The lack of a valid and interpretable score to track early child development over time is a primary reason for neglecting child development in policymaking. Many instruments exist, but there is no accepted method for comparing their scores across different ages, samples, and instruments. This paper aims (1) to enhance the Development Score (D-score), a unidimensional scale for early child development, to compare measurements across ages, samples,…

  • Development and validation of a short form psychometric tool assessing the caregiving Challenge of Living with Cystic Fibrosis (CLCF-SF) in a child

    Open AccessGareth McCray, Holly Hope et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2025

    Objective Caring for a child with cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rigorous daily commitment for caregivers and treatment burden is a major concern. We aimed to develop and validate a short form version of a 46-item tool assessing the Challenge of Living with Cystic Fibrosis (CLCF) for clinical or research use.Design A novel genetic algorithm based on ‘evolving’ a subset of items from a pre-specified set of criteria, was applied to optimise the tool, us…

  • Development and preliminary validation of the challenges of living with cystic fibrosis (CLCF) questionnaire

    Open AccessClaire Glasscoe, Holly Hope et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2023

    OBJECTIVE: Treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) are complex, labour-intensive, and perceived as highly burdensome by caregivers of children with CF. An instrument assessing burden of care is needed. DESIGN: A stepwise, qualitative design was used to create the CLCF with caregiver focus groups, participant researchers, a multidisciplinary professional panel, and cognitive interviews. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ). RESULTS: = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: The CLC…

    The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement is a guideline designed to improve the transparency and quality of the reporting of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). In this article we present an extension to that statement for randomised pilot and feasibility trials conducted in advance of a future definitive RCT. The checklist applies to any randomised study in which a future definitive RCT, or part of it, is conducted on …

  • Linkage of survey data with district-level lung cancer registrations

    Gillian Lancaster, Gillian A Lancaster et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2006Cited by: 1References: 18

    Objective: To investigate a stratified ecological method for reducing ecological bias in studies that use aggregate data, by incorporating information on individual-level risk factors into the analysis. Design: Cross-sectional study investigating associations between socioeconomic risk factors and lung cancer in the north of England, using 1991 UK Census Small Area Statistics and Sample of Anonymised Records with lung cancer registrations from th…

  • Design and analysis of pilot studies

    Open AccessGillian Lancaster, Gillian A Lancaster et al.ARTICLEJournal of Evaluation in Clinical…2004

    Pilot studies play an important role in health research, but they can be misused, mistreated and misrepresented. In this paper we focus on pilot studies that are used specifically to plan a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Citing examples from the literature, we provide a methodological framework in which to work, and discuss reasons why a pilot study might be undertaken. A well‐conducted pilot study, giving a clear list of aims and objectives …
