SUMMARY:Item Response Theory Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Steve Reise \nFriday\, February 24th 2006\n12:00 – 4:30 pm\n3258 Franz Hall\nUniversity of California\, Los Angeles\nLos Angeles\, CA 90095-1563 \nPROGRAM \n12:00-12:30–Lunch \n12:30-4:00–Workshop \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP \nItem Response Theory (IRT) is a model that will facilitate the description\, in probabilistic terms\, of the relationship between a person’s response and some status variable such as race or gender. IRT is a very valuable method to be employed by those interested in looking at differences in response by racial/ethnic minorities and so this workshop is an excellent opportunity for participants interested in investigating health disparities in minority populations. This introductory workshop included a discussion of the basics of item response theory (IRT) modeling\, including discussions of defining model parameters\, model assumptions\, item and test characteristic and information curves\, frequently-used IRT models\, and differences between traditional and IRT methods. Also included were discussions of the role of IRT modeling in health outcomes research of evaluating and developing questionnaires\, identifying differential item functioning\, linking instruments\, developing item banks\, and assessing change and critical issues for applying this methodology in health outcomes research.
