Phase of Implementation Process:

Phase of implementation process when the assessment instrument can be used

• Pre-Implementation
• Implementation

Levels of Data Collection:

The level(s) from which the assessment instrument collects data

• Implementer

Intended Priority Population:

Intended priority population from whom data are collected using the assessment instrument

• Researcher/Evaluator

Intended Priority Setting:

Intended priority setting in which the assessment instrument is used

Policy:

Assessment instrument is relevant to policy

Equity Focus:

Scoring:

The assessment instrument produces a composite score

Norms:

Measures of central tendency and distribution for the total score are based on small, medium, large sample size

Responsiveness:

The ability of the assessment instrument to detect change over time (i.e., sensitivity to change or intervention effects).

Validity:

The extent to which an instrument measures what it is intended to measure accurately.

Reliability:

The extent to which results are consistent results over time, across raters, across settings, or across items intended to measure the same thing.

Factor Analysis:

A statistical method that uses the correlation between observed variables to identify common factors.

Time to Administer:

The amount of time required to complete the assessment instrument

Secondary Data:

Cost:

Cost associated with access to assessment instrument (Some instruments might require login.)

Literacy:

Readability of the items reported on.

Interpretation:

Expertise needed for interpretation of data is reported.

Training:

Expertise needed to use the assessment instrument is reported

Resources Required to Administer:

Resources needed to administer the assessment instrument (FTE for data collector, equipment, etc.)

User Guidance:

Guides are provided to support administration of assessment instrument/data collection, and/or analysis of data from the assessment instrument, and/or interpretation of data, and/or action/decision on how to use data

• Guidance to Administer

Obtrusiveness:

Degree of intrusion the participants will experience because of the data collection when using the assessment instrument (e.g., assessment instruments that rely on use of secondary data or automated data will be less obtrusive)

• Medium: Asyncronous collection of data

Interactivity:

Data collection and/or result generation involves interactive components.
