OverviewAI-generated summary

Allison J. Ames' research focuses on the application of statistical models and psychometric validation in educational and health-related contexts. Her work includes the development and application of item response theory (IRT) models, as demonstrated by her module on item-fit statistics and her work using SAS PROC MCMC for IRT models. Ames has also investigated ethical reasoning education, evaluating its impact on student learning through module-based programs and debriefing in disaster simulations. Her research extends to health disparities, with a publication analyzing autism and developmental disabilities surveillance reports to inform primary care. Additionally, she has contributed to the psychometric validation of scales, such as the 10-item USDA Food Security Scale for college students.
