Concurrent Validity & Client Acceptability of a Portable Mat for Clinical Assessment of Balance in Older Adults.
This is an observational study in a sample of 100 community dwelling older adults with varying falls risk.
We will report convergent validity of a portable, low-cost Balance assessment tool in reference to a force plate and two clinical balance assessment methods, and will include a study of client acceptability of the Balance assessment tool assessed using a mixed methods questionnaire.
Reliability and validity of salivary cortisol levels of healthy adults measured using a point of collection analysis method (POCSS)
This research will test out the reliability and validity of IPRO©, a collection and analysis method for human saliva. This method calculates how much of the hormone known as cortisol is present in saliva, and this is one of several indicators of how much stress a person is experiencing. IPRO© is a ‘point of collection’ method, meaning that collection and analysis can be conducted in places where this sort of testing has not traditionally been possible. By comparing the IPRO© method to a traditional laboratory-based saliva analysis method we hope to find out if this ‘point of collection’ method is valuable for future research and clinical use.
The presence and severity of episodic disability, and frailty, in people living with HIV in regional Australia: a cross-sectional study with a nested reliability and validity study of the HIV Disability Questionnaire.
This is a cross sectional study of people living with HIV. The study will report how much difficulty people living with HIV in a regional area such as Townsville have doing everyday tasks, hobbies, sports, their jobs, memory, emotion, or participating in social events. Together, these difficulties are known as disability and frailty. This research project will also test if the way these difficulties are measured in other parts of the world, such as north America and Africa, are suitable for regional northern Australia. Finding out the
difficulties that people living with HIV have, will tell us if changes are needed in health and community services to improve the lives of people living with HIV in the Townsville area or other regional areas of Australia.
Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the short form Episodic Disability Questionnaire (EDQ) among women living with HIV in the United Kingdom: A self-reported repeated measure study
This study is funded by a British HIV Association research grant and it will assess the measurement properties, specifically internal consistency reliability, precision of measurement, construct validity, and test-retest reliability, of the EDQ for its ability to measure disability experienced by women living with HIV in the UK. We will also aim to measure disability prevalence amongst the sample and report foundational disability data among women living with HIV in the UK.
