To determine reliability, CAM was administered university participant panel (n = 148), with sub-sample 94) completing it again 2 weeks later. establish construct validity, scores experts 12) compared those non-medical academics 21). Finally, students 49) randomly assigned read either information leaflet control before measure, ensure sensitive change.RESULTS: Cognitive interviewing indicated that being interpreted as intended. Internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.77) test-retest (r 0.81) high. Scores for significantly higher than (t(31) 6.8, P < 0.001). among who received an intervention (t(47) 4.8, 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: These studies show psychometric properties support its validity population.
