Greetings, colleagues,
This is to announce the launch of an exciting on-line resource for you: the
Measurement Excellence Initiative (MEI), located at
http://www.MeasurementExperts.org. At this site, you will find helpful
guides to selecting the best measurement instruments for your research. MEI
offers:
· critical reviews of internet sites and books that offer hundreds of
measures;
· an extensive bibliography of psychometric literature listed
categorically;
· a glossary of terms and topics in measurement;
· a message board for exchanging your thoughts about measurement issues
with others;
· a directory of measurement experts available in your geographic area or
research specialty.
MEI is more than just a comprehensive on-line collection of measurement,
statistics and research methodology resources. MEI also provides a link to
experts - a collaboration of some of the top minds in measurement, from
throughout the health sciences, medicine, psychology, and education. In
addition, MEI will provide reviews of the most recent, innovative, and
practical tools, techniques and developments in measurement. In coming
months, you will hear of us, as we offer symposia and expert panel meetings,
staff information kiosks at major conferences, and produce position papers
on some of the hottest topics in health sciences measurement today.
We at the Houston Center for Quality of Care and Utilization Studies, a
Veterans Affairs Health Services R&D Center of Excellence, are proud to
introduce MEI. Please take a few moments to visit
http://www.MeasurementExperts.org, see what we have to offer, and let us
know what you think!
With best wishes,
The MEI Team of Measurement Experts
