Explain the purpose of the questionnaire. What information does it seek to understand?
Summarize the scale. Describe the questions or sections.
Report information about the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. How was it validated and with which populations?
Give one example of a study or research question that could use this scale to assess the population.
