United States of America
Content validity:
The tool was created by drawing a sample of items from the existing 66-item REALM-Teen. IRT and DIF were conducted to determine the suitability of the shortened version. The shortened, 10-item version was then piloted among a sample of teens that had also completed the REALM-Teen to ensure correlation between the two versions.
Reliability (Cronbach Alpha):
0.82
