About This Measure
About the Validation of this Measure
Country where validated:
Germany
Content validity:
"Created through a two-stage process: Stage 1 comprised the development and validation using a literature review, two rounds of cognitive interviews, two focus groups and two rounds of expert assessments by health literacy experts. Stage 2 included a standard pretest (n = 625) of the questionnaire draft to examine the psychometric properties, reliability and different validity aspects."
Criterion validity:
Developed from a blueprint of HLS-EU-Q47-GER which had been previously used in a quantitative study with 15-year-olds in Australia. LR, Cis, and FGs were used as a reference to create an initial item pool that related best to this conceptual framework.
Reliability notes:
The internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach’s ) of the scales varied from 0.54 to 0.77
