Correction to “The Performance Diagnostic Checklist–Human Services (1.1): An initial assessment of validity and reliability”

Abstract

Jimenez, S., Wilder, D. A., Brand, D., Carr, J. E., Sellers, T. P., & Mason, M. A. (2023). The Performance Diagnostic Checklist–Human Services (1.1): An initial assessment of validity and reliability. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 56(4), 884–897. https://doi.org/10.1002/jaba.1017

The Performance Diagnostic Checklist-Human Services (1.1) (Appendix A) contains a minor error. An item scored as NO on the PDC-HS is suggestive of a potential problem and, thus, indicates an opportunity for a specific intervention to improve staff performance. However, item 3 in the Resources, Materials, and Processes section was worded such that an answer of YES (instead of NO) was suggestive of a potential problem. This item has been corrected in the assessment (see Supporting Information) such that all PDC-HS (1.1) items are aligned, with answers of NO being suggestive of a potential problem.

We apologize for the error.
