Generalizability [PDF]

Neurology, 2012
Clinical and epidemiologic investigations are paying increasing attention to the critical constructs of "representativeness" of study samples and "generalizability" of study results. This is a laudable trend and yet, these key concepts are often misconstrued and conflated, masking the central issues of internal and external validity. The authors define

Person, population, mechanism. A rejoinder to critics and an elaboration of the three-branch model

Journal for Person-Oriented Research
In a previous paper (Lundh, 2023), it was argued that psychological science can be seen as having three main branches, corresponding to three levels of research: research at the person level, at the population level, and at the mechanism level.

Doubly robust estimators for generalizing treatment effects on survival outcomes from randomized controlled trials to a target population

Journal of Causal Inference, 2022
In the presence of heterogeneity between the randomized controlled trial (RCT) participants and the target population, evaluating the treatment effect solely based on the RCT often leads to biased quantification of the real-world treatment effect.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.
