The Adaptive Measurement of Suicidality and Risk with Dr. Robert Gibbons

Dr. Robert Gibbons

Dr. Gibbons will discuss adaptive testing in which different individuals may receive different scale items that are targeted to their specific impairment level. In particular, he will discuss how the shift in paradigm is from small fixed-length tests with questionable psychometric properties to large item banks from which an optimal small subset of items is adaptively drawn for each individual, targeted to their level of impairment. The focus of today’s presentation is on the adaptive measurement of suicidality and risk prediction and stratification.
