1. Measurement and Statistics From July, 2015 It’s All About You: A Clinical Research Simulation (1.12) This project was supported by the Office Of The Director, National Institutes Of Health of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number R25 OD010983-03. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.

2. Ethical Issues? Consider the research design, data collection measures and ethical requirements: 1.What were the risks to participation? 2.Was your personal information/data protected? 3.Were ethical requirements violated?

3. CRESST Study Simulation Instructions  This activity is designed to simulate participation in a clinical research study and provide data for use in an exercise in the CRESST academy. This and any other forms you complete related to this project are strictly confidential. We ask that you provide a personal code so that your responses will not be linked with your name in any data base. Personal Code: Circle first letter of mother’s first name: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Circle first letter of mother’s maiden name: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Circle first letter in the city of your birth: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Circle first letter in state of your birth: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

4. Research Questions and Analysis Questions?  What questions came to mind? Results and Interpretation?  What information is most relevant?  How should it be interpreted? Additional Questions?  What questions are generated based on the results? The sample? Additional Data Collection?  What additional information are you interested in?

5. Small Group Activity  Develop 1-2 research questions about adult stress and wellness  Develop hypotheses  Using the excel file analyze the data to test your hypotheses  Graph your results  What are your findings and possible explanations?  What additional or follow-up questions do you have?  What measures would need to be added to the simulation activity to answer these questions? Find some possible measurement tools you could use.

6. Using Excel to Analyze Data  Mean  Go to the Formulas tab and select Insert Function  Click on the cell where you want to display the mean  Select the AVERAGE function, click OK  Enter the cell range (e.g. A1:J1), click OK  To Watch a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62i1fqKhNhg To Watch a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62i1fqKhNhg  Standard deviation  Go to the Formulas tab and select Insert Function  Click on the cell where you want to display the standard deviation  Select the STDEV function, click OK  Enter the cell range (e.g. A1:J1), click OK  Correlation  Go to the Formulas tab and select Insert Function  Select the CORREL function and enter the cell range of the two data columns or arrays, click OK  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY4S6F2k8no http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY4S6F2k8no  Go to the Insert tab and select the scatter plot icon to graph the correlation

7. Selecting Data Collection Measures Considerations: 1.Appropriateness 2.Administration procedures 3.Reliability 4.Validity 5.Measurement error  Data quality 6.Limitations

8. Classroom Application  How could the simulation work in your classroom?  What about inquiry?  What adjustments can you make to increase the amount of learner self-direction?
