Participating instructions will be sent to registered participants via email prior to the event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentation Description:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Blind proficiency testing is a norm or requirement in many scientific fields. However, forensic laboratories primarily rely on open proficiency tests from vendors such as Collaborative Testing Services, Inc. or Forensic Assurance. In open proficiency tests, examiners know they are being tested, and the test targets a specific step in the evidence handling and analysis pipeline.\u00a0 In blind proficiency tests, examiners are unaware they are being tested and, as the sample moves through the laboratory\u2019s evidence handling and management pipeline, it can provide data on the entire process from evidence submission to analyst report.\u00a0 Studies in other fields have shown that laboratories often perform differently on open and blind proficiency tests. A growing number of voices within the community of forensic quality managers and some laboratory directors have expressed interest in implementing blind testing in addition to open proficiency tests.\u00a0 However, implementing blind proficiency testing is logistically challenging, and takes both time and money, neither of which tend to be in surplus at forensic laboratories. This webinar will report on the CSAFE 2018 Blinding Workshop, highlighting experiences, issues, and best practices for laboratories implementing blinding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSAFE invites researchers, collaborators, and members of the broader forensics and statistics communities to participate in the July Center Wide Webinar on Thursday, July 18, 2019 at 12:00 pm CST.\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
