The NIH Toolbox is intended to be responsive to the needs of investigators evaluating neurologic and behavioral function in diverse settings. Early phases of the project involved gathering information and input from potential end users.
Information was collected through literature and instrument database reviews, requests for information, consensus meetings, and expert interviews and integrated into the NIH Toolbox development process in an iterative manner.
Criteria for instrument inclusion, subdomains to be assessed, and preferences regarding instrument cost and length were obtained. Existing measures suitable for inclusion in the NIH Toolbox and areas requiring new measure development were identified.
The NIH Toolbox was developed with explicit input from potential end users regarding many of its key features.
NIH 工具包旨在满足评估神经和行为功能的研究人员在不同环境下的需求。该项目的早期阶段涉及从潜在最终用户那里收集信息和意见。
通过文献和仪器数据库的回顾、信息请求、共识会议、专家访谈收集信息,并以迭代的方式将其纳入 NIH 工具包的开发过程。
确定了仪器纳入标准、要评估的子领域,以及对仪器成本和长度的偏好。确定了适合纳入 NIH 工具包的现有措施和需要新措施开发的领域。
NIH 工具包的开发得到了潜在最终用户对其许多关键特性的明确意见。
