Description

This webinar will review clinical implications and solutions for addressing response shift (RS) and differential item functioning (DIF) with emphasis on interpretation of PROs for assessing change and diverse people.

Participants will engage in discussion to learn about the concepts of DIF and RS, implications of DIF and RS for their practice, and solutions for addressing DIF and RS using case studies. The discussion will be facilitated via a panel and with interactive use of polls and survey questions.

The webinar has been co-developed via a series of online workshops with clinicians and analysts. Corresponding resources, including an independent online learning module, will be made available for further learning about statistical methods for detecting DIF and RS in PRO data.
