ICC for the eHEALS was 0.605 (95% CI 0.419-0.743, P<.001)
About the Validation of this Measure
Country where validated:
Norway
Content validity:
The test was adapted from the English version of the eHEALS. It consisted of various translation and cross-cultural adaptations. This process included, forward translation, synthesis , back translation, instrument pilot testing and revision of the final adapted instrument.
Reliability (Cronbach Alpha):
0.99
Reliability notes:
Cronbach alpha for the eHEALS was >.99
