Comparing the Visual Analogue Scale and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for Measuring Health-Related Quality of Life in Children with Oral Clefts
Our study finds the VAS to perform relatively well in measuring overall HRQoL among children with oral clefts. The VAS may be useful as a screening tool to identify children with oral clefts at risk of low HRQoL for referral into more comprehensive evaluations and for measuring average HRQoL across a sample of children
The willingness of US pediatric dentists to use atraumatic restorative treatment ( ART ) with their patients
Although insurance coverage was the least important among the factors, being without insurance, being very young, and being uncooperative was the scenario where pediatric dentists most favored ART when making trade offs between different factors using the conjoint design

Spiritually based parenting workshop
The present study observed the effects of one spiritually based parenting workshop: Parent and Family Healing. A repeated-measures design using before, after, and 3-week follow-up revealed that in the sample of 65 parents, Parent and Family Healing significantly lowered parents’ stress and negative affect, and increased their parental efficacy and parental satisfaction. These effects were all maintained at the 3-week follow-up. The workshop also …
The Predictive Relationship of ITBS and Ited to Measures of Academic Success
This study investigated the relationship between achievement test scores on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, the Iowa Tests of Educational Development, and academic success, as measured by high school and first-year college grade point averages (GPA). The population consisted of 1,147 students who entered the University of Iowa as freshmen in 1991. Achievement test scores obtained in Grades 3 through 12 were available for a substantial portion of …
The Effects of Using Calculators to Reduce the Computational Burden on a Standardized Test of Mathematics Problem Solving
Problem solving is a key skill in mathematics education. Thus, it is important to be able to assess students' proficiencies as problem solvers. The Quantitative Thinking Subtest (Test Q) of the Iowa Tests of Educational Development is a test of problem solving ability. However, if this test is to be considered a pure measure of problem solving ability, it must be demonstrated that this test does not measure other factors such as computational abi…
The Effect of Deleting Content-Related Items on IRT Ability Estimates
In this study, the process a school might use to build a "customized test" from an "on shelf' standardized achievement test was followed, as closely as possible. The main purpose was to assess the effects of using "customized test" results rather than full test results in estimating examinee ability levels. To this end, ability parameters were estimated for groups of students on the Quantitative Thinking subtest of a standardized achievement test…
Relationship of Elementary and Secondary School Achievement Test Scores to College Performance
This study investigated the relationship between achievement test scores on the ITBS and ITED and academic success in college. The basic population consisted of approximately 2000 students who entered the University of Iowa as freshmen in 1977. Achievement test scores obtained in grades 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 were available for a substantial portion of the population. Three measures of academic success in college were used: (1) first semester…
The Importance of Computational Skill for Answering Items in a Mathematics Problem Solving Test
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of computational skill for answering items in the Quantitative Thinking subtest (Test Q) of the Iowa Tests of Educational Development (ITED). Nine matched pairs of schools participated in the study. One school from each pair allowed students to use calculators when taking Test Q, while the other school did not allow calculators to be employed. The difficulty levels of the items i…
