Knowledge Item: CA-Client-Patient Characteristics-25
Relationship of Total Needs and Vulnerability to Individual Need
and Vulnerability Indicators
This Knowledge Item shows the
estimated probability of having each of 15 individual needs and
vulnerabilities as a function of the Total Needs and Vulnerability Index
developed as a sum of these indicators. The analyses shown are a form of
psychometric analysis of the total index. Note that this way of showing
"item response curves" is somewhat more flexible than
traditional scaling models and was used because of the large amounts of
missing data on some of the indicators.
