Bibliography: Using Test Information II
2022
This annotated bibliography supports the teaching pack on Using Test Information II, in which students are introduced to tests with continuous or categorical results, and calculate the sensitivity and specificity conditional on different cutoff points or positivity criterion. They are introduced to ROC curves and calculate the optimal positivity criterion given information on the prior, the test performance, and the relative consequences of true positives, false negatives, and false positives. In addition to the bibliography, materials include an instructor’s note, videos, companion slides, a glossary, and sample exercises.
This teaching pack was developed by Sue J. Goldie at the Center for Health Decision Science, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The multimedia components were developed as part of a series of pilots in the CHDS Media Hub, led by Jake Waxman, where media-based pedagogy experiments contribute to new ways of thinking about short form content.
