Inter-Rater Reliability Program

CCT provides ongoing rater training for various psychometric scales and assessment tools.

 

We use the same trainers (usually senior investigators and the Medical Director) across all four sites. We also use live and video-taped patient interviews to improve inter-rater reliability and consistency.

CCT Rater Training features:

  • Theoretical foundations and development of rating scales in-services
  • 'Live' rating scales demonstrations, supplemented with video-taped illustrations conducted by senior investigators
  • Inter-Rater Reliability sessions held periodically to ensure consistency among study team members performing clinical evaluations resulting in accurate data
  • Study teams that receive clinical skills training in establishing rapport with the study participant, maintaining objectivity, and observing and recording behavioral manifestations
  • Accurate documention of a holistic clinical representation of the study participant

 

Senior investigators, with the support of a psychologist and psychometrician, guarantee the reliability of ratings scales conducted during clinical studies at all sites. ???

Inter-Rater Reliability and group training sessions are documented and maintained by Phase II-IV Department Management.

Individual Rater training is documented in accordance with the Staff Orientation and Training Clinical Operating Guideline.
