Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
If the internal organization of a study leads to distortion in the estimation measurement, that measurement lacks internal validity. This is what happens when, for example, a person is weighed using a defective scale. As with a well-calibrated scale, an etiological study must be free of measurement-distorting internal defects. These defects may be encountered at three stages in the study: the subject selection, information-gathering and analysis stages. 1, record 3, English, - internal%20validity

Si l'organisation interne d’une étude entraîne une distorsion dans la mesure d’estimation, alors cette mesure manque de validité interne. C'est ce qui se produit, par exemple, lorsqu'on évalue le poids avec un pèse-personne défectueux. Comme le pèse-personne bien calibré, une étude à visée étiologique doit être exempte de défauts internes qui entraînent une distorsion de la mesure. Ces défauts peuvent se rencontrer à trois étapes de l'étude : à l'étape de la sélection des sujets, à celle de la collecte de l'information et à celle de l'analyse. 1, record 3, French, - validit%C3%A9%20interne
