AB  - The purpose of this paper is to describe a classification system for studies of 
      responsiveness that was designed to help organize these studies, and identify 
      those with the potential to provide information on minimal clinically important 
      difference (MCID). We developed a 3 dimensional cube into which studies of 
      responsiveness can be categorized based on their evaluation of 3 attributes: 1. 
      individual or group setting; 2. which scores are contrasted; and 3. the type of 
      change or difference being assessed. We present and discuss examples of studies 
      that fit into categories in the classification cube. This classification system 
      helps to focus attention on whether the literature is able to provide information 
      on the specific type of change a person is interested in. It reinforces that the 
      ability of an instrument to detect a certain category of discrimination within 
      the cube does not mean it will necessarily be responsive to another category. The 
      cube has been shown here as a means to separate out studies that address 
      important change. These studies can then be examined as the source of information 
      on MCID.
