Resumen
ESPELT, Albert et al. Fair use of tests in health sciences. Gac Sanit [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.5, pp.408-410. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2014.05.001.
Standardized measurement instruments (tests) have become an essential tool in health sciences. The concept of equity in the development, adaptation and administration of psychometric tests was first introduced in "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" published in 1999 by the American Educational Research Association, the American Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education. Despite its importance, this concept has been scarcely used in epidemiology and public health. Consequently, this methodological note aims to explain the concept of equity in testing and to provide tools and indications to detect and solve their inequitable use.
