Psychometric Laboratory for Health Sciences  

Measuring outcome in health care requires the same attention to detail, and the same quality of science as other aspects of medical care. The Psychometric Laboratory, based at the University of Leeds in the UK, provides a range of support services, including teaching, consultancy and contract work to promote such quality.
