What are the Common Methods to Assess Data Reliability?
Several methods are used to assess the reliability of epidemiological data:
Test-Retest Reliability: Measuring the stability of data over time by repeating the same test. Inter-Rater Reliability: Assessing the agreement between different data collectors. Internal Consistency: Evaluating the consistency of results across items within a test. Split-Half Reliability: Splitting the data into two halves and assessing consistency between them.
