A similar result was found for the Perceived Social Support instrument: acceptable reliability (Alpha = 0.88) but poor discrimination (Delta = 0.64).
Completion of the EDQLS was reported to be easy and took only about five minutes, which makes the instrument acceptable and practical for administration in clinical settings.
It is extremely important to use a very specific instrument, acceptable to the subjects (limiting the amount of missing data) and focused on very precise concepts, thus producing reliable and accurate results.
Results supported the factorial structure, reliability and convergent validity of the instrument and the instrument was acceptable for assessing the eating disorders-specific experience of caregiving in Spain.
Correlations of the subscales with other instruments indicated acceptable convergent validity.
The reliability of these instruments is acceptable, but their validity has not been sufficiently examined, and they may discriminate poorly between anxiety and depression.
Ultimately, our alternative procedure produced instruments with acceptable psychometric properties.
The psychometric qualities of the instrument, as in all social network instruments, are acceptable.
Brief as well as long screening instruments showed acceptable accuracy (AUC≥0.7).
The degree of agreement between doctors when evaluating different hypothetical scenarios with the prioritisation instruments was acceptable.
