Abstract Background Understanding and utilizing health information has become increasingly demanding whereby people's health literacy becomes important. European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16) measures health literacy (HL). We aimed to study the psychometric properties of the Danish version in the general population and a population with coronary artery disease. Methods A national, cross-sectional survey of individuals from the general Danish population and patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI) was conducted. The general population sample consisted of 7,653 individuals. The MI sample of 4,440 individuals had previously been hospitalized with MI. To assess the influence of large sample sizes, we examined five randomly drawn subsamples of 500 from each population. The Rasch analysis was conducted using RUMM-2030 consisting of inspection of unidimensionality, local dependency, Differential item Functioning (DIF), and item fit. Results The results are preliminary and analyses still ongoing. The HLS-EU-Q16 did not fit the Rasch model, neither for the total sample, subsamples, the general population sample, nor for the MI sample. For the MI sample, there were signs of local dependence and item 6 had the largest item misfit. DIF was observed for item 6 and 7 (age and gender). The general population sample also showed signs of local dependence, and item 1 indicated the largest item misfit. DIF was observed for item 1 (age) and item 1, 7, 8, 13 and 16 (gender). Conclusions The Danish version of HLS-EU-Q16 did not fit the Rasch model neither in the general population sample nor for the MI sample. Our large population-based study indicated scalability problems of the HLS-EU-Q16. The validation procedure is a step on the path to ensure the use of valid measures of HL in both populations and patient groups to support the raising awareness of HL as a necessary element to ensure equity in our health system and thereby initiating an urgent public health activity. Key messages We studied the construct validity of the Danish version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire HLS-EU-Q16 with a Rasch model. Our large population-based study indicate problems with the psychometric properties of the current Danish version of the HLS-EU-Q16.

AbstractBackground:There is no published evidence about the psychometric properties of the Cognitive Behavioral Avoidance Scale (CBAS) in Eastern cultures.Aims:The current research evaluated the psychometric properties of a Persian version of the CBAS.Method:The research consisted of two studies. In Study 1, a university student sample (n = 702) completed the CBAS, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Thought Control Questionnaire and the Anxious Thoughts Inventory. In Study 2, a general population sample (n = 384) and a clinical sample (n = 152) completed the CBAS, the Young Compensation Inventory and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21.Results:Exploratory factor analysis of the data from Study 1 suggested a four-factor solution for CBAS. The CBAS had acceptable internal consistency and test–re-test reliability, and showed significant correlations with depression symptoms and anxious thoughts. Confirmatory factor analysis of the data from Study 2 indicated good fit between the four-factor model and data. The CBAS had a significant relationship with depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, but no associations with schema compensatory behaviour strategy. Finally, the CBAS and its subscales successfully distinguished a clinical sample from a general population sample.Conclusions:The findings provide preliminary evidence for reliability and validity of the CBAS among Iranian student, general population and clinical samples.

Hypothesis Evaluation

We investigate in-service teachers’ reasons for trust and distrust in educational research compared to research in general. Building on previous research on a so-called “smart but evil” stereotype regarding educational researchers, three sets of confirmatory hypotheses were preregistered. First, we expected that teachers would emphasize expertise—as compared with benevolence and integrity—as a stronger reason for trust in educational researchers. Moreover, we expected that this pattern would not only apply to educational researchers, but that it would generalize to researchers in general. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the pattern could also be found in the general population. Following a pilot study aiming to establish the validity of our measures (German general population sample; N = 504), hypotheses were tested in an online study with N = 414 randomly sampled German in-service teachers. Using the Bayesian informative hypothesis evaluation framework, we found empirical support for five of our six preregistered hypotheses.
