Kugler, Kari C.; Komro, Kelli A.; Stigler, Melissa H.; Mnyika, Kagoma S.; Masatu, Melkiory; Aastrom, Anne N.; Klepp, Knut-Inge – AIDS Education and Prevention, 2007
The use of reliable and valid tools to evaluate theory-based health interventions is widely accepted as critical to the behavioral sciences. However, quite often the psychometric properties of survey instruments used to evaluate behavioral interventions are not published, limiting our understanding of how the theory works. The purpose of this…

Nylund, Karen; Bellmore, Amy; Nishina, Adrienne; Graham, Sandra – Child Development, 2007
This study uses latent class analysis (LCA) to empirically identify victimization groups during middle school. Approximately 2,000 urban, public middle school students (mean age in sixth grade = 11.57) reported on their peer victimization during the Fall and Spring semesters of their sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Independent LCA analyses at…
