Pretest-posttest designs are widely used in behav-
ioral research, primarily for the purpose of comparing
groups and/or measuring change resulting from exper-
imental treatments. The focus of this article is on com-
paring groups with pretest and posttest data and related
reliability issues. In rehabilitation research, change is
commonly measured in such dependent variables as
employment status, income, empowerment, assertive-
ness, self-advocacy skills, and adjustment to disabil-
ity. The measurement of change provides a vehicle for
assessing the impact of rehabilitation services, as well
as the effects of specific counseling and allied health
interventions...
