| Measurement Symposium - Multilevel Research: Issues, Design and Data Analysis |
| Several federal funding agencies (e.g., NIH and CDC) have recently called for multilevel physical activity research studies. What is a multilevel research? What are the key issues related to multilevel research? How does one design a multilevel research study and analyze the data from such a study? The purpose of this symposium is to address these questions, both theoretically and practically. By providing some application examples and computer software demonstrations, how to design, conduct and analyze multilevel research will be described by a step-by-step approach. |
