Writing primarily for public health students and for public health professionals who have a limited background in statistics and mathematics, Di Iorio (behavioral sciences, health education, Emory University) emphasizes classical measurement strategies used in health behavior research for testing reliability and validity and for interpreting results. A major portion of the text deals with scale development and testing, but chapters on survey development and the construction of knowledge tests are also included. Students in other health disciplines, such as nursing, medicine, and applied health sciences, may also find the book useful. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Measurement in Health Behavior offers faculty, students, researchers, and public health professionals the information they need to improve their knowledge of instrument development and testing and their understanding of reliability and validity testing discussed in articles and reports. The book also helps improve students’ and professionals’ ability to conduct basic tests for reliability and validity and hones their skills in interpreting the results of data analysis. Based on data collected from the author’s more than ten years of research and program development, Measurement in Health Behavior provides realistic examples from the public health arena to clearly demonstrate the book’s concepts.
