To accurately assess the health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of students in grades four-seven, the staff of the School Health Education Evaluation (SHEE) project devoted extensive effort to identify a test appropriate for such assessment. An extensive literature review failed to produce an instrument sufficiently comprehensive or psychometrically sound that could be employed. In this paper, the philosophic orientation and the detailed processes followed in developing a noncurriculum specific, psychometrically sound evaluation instrument for use in the study is described. Included are the bases for the test framework, test objective development, test item review, the various measures constructed using the test blueprint, student performance on the test battery, the psychometric qualities of the test, and suggestions for appropriate use of the final test in other school health education settings.

Sampling is often used in evaluation as an economical and efficient means of estimating population parameters. Among the approaches to sampling traditionally used, few provide the apparent flexibility of multi-matrix sampling. The current paper proposes multi-matrix sampling as an alternative to traditional sampling approaches for evaluation of health education programs. A comparison is made between examinee sampling and multi-matrix sampling. No significant differences were found between the estimates of mean test performance provided by the two sampling plans following completion of the fifth grade unit of the School Health Curriculum Project. The advantages and disadvantages of multi-matrix sampling are examined, and potential applications of this technique are illustrated.

Application of Group-Level Item Response Models in the Evaluation of Consumer Reports About Health Plan Quality

Group-level parametric and non-parametric item response theory models were applied to the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS(®)) 2.0 core items in a sample of 35,572 Medicaid recipients nested within 131 health plans. Results indicated that CAHPS responses are dominated by within health plan variation, and only weakly influenced by between health plan variation. Thus, although the CAHPS 2.0 survey has acceptable psychometric properties when analyzed at the individual level, large sample sizes are needed to reliably differentiate among health plans. These results illustrate why it is important to study evaluations of health care, such as CAHPS, at multiple levels of analyses.
