Development and Validation of MiDAS

MiDAS version 1 was presented at the 7th Nordic Music Therapy Congress in Finland to gain feedback from music therapy experts. Three dementia specialists music therapists in the UK and in USA were also asked to make comments on MiDAS to achieve consensus on clinical relevance of the scale items. The outcome of the field-testing, feedback from music therapists and care home staff, and feedback from the conference presentation were incorporated to review the MiDAS version 1. OM, MO and HMR discussed the review results to achieve consensus. MiDAS version 2 was produced.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
