Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI)
Probability
The likelihood that something will happen.
Sensitivity
A test’s ability to designate an individual with disease as positive. A highly sensitive test means that there are few false negative results.
e.g. 90% sensitivity = 90% of people who have the target disease will test positive.
Specificity
A test’s ability to designate an individual who does not have a disease.
90% specificity = 90% of people who do not have the target disease will test negative.
Convergent Validity
The extent to which a test measures the hypothetical construct that it intends to measure.
Predictive Validity
Is when a measurement correlates with another variable that takes place in the future.
e.g., Individual who score high on tests measure the onset of an illness are correlated with those who actually develop an illness.
Reliability
Is obtained when a test’s stability is proven over time.
e.g., The scores from time one and time two are consistent and stable.
Test-Retest Reliability
Occurs when participants partake in the same test twice.
