Chapter 24: Assessing Desirability of Outcome Stats: Case Studies
          

Which of the following measures would be most suitable?

You answered:

Selection COlder Adults Resource Center Scale (OARS)

INCORRECT

Your research problem does not require you to have a utility (preference-weighted) measure. The SG and willingness to pay are not easy to use in mailed format and are not necessary for your research design. The OARS scale is for a specialized population-older adults-and is not suitable for this research task.
