Therefore, the objective of this qualitative study was to further develop and finalize the items and support the content validity for the new Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™) Eosinophilic Esophagitis Module.
In the current study, we further utilize qualitative methods, specifically cognitive interviewing techniques, to support content validity and to finalize the items for a quantitative analysis subsequent to field testing.
Utilizing the cognitive debriefing methodology in the current study, the semi-structured question format allowed patients and families the opportunity to explain in their own words the impact of EoE on their family and to achieve content saturation prior to finalizing the items.
Regarding the task and allocation guidelines the experts discussed and shorted out all of the different items and finalized the content as well as structure of two guidelines; one intended to be used by the treating physician and one to be used by the nurse.
Nevertheless, Harvard finalized the expulsion.
HP finalized the manuscript.
