Benson T (Computer Evaluation Unit, Charing Cross Hospital, Fulham Palace Road, London W6). Classification of disability and distress by ward nurses: a reliability study. International Journal of Epidemiology 1978 7: 359–361. In a series of trials, ward nurses independently classified the disability and distress states of medical and surgical patients. Criteria for inter-rater reliability, in terms of correlation and absence of bias, were met after each rater had taken part in a training session which gave immediate feedback about performance.
