Description
Diane Carol Gooding and co-authors asked whether a short survey on views of research reads the same across groups. The seven-item survey is used a lot in Alzheimer's disease work to gauge who will join a study. Scores can be set side by side only if the items mean the same thing to each group. The sample spanned age bands and three racial and ethnic groups.
More than two thousand five hundred adults from town samples filled in the survey. The items hung together well in each group, with like scores for inner fit. A one-theme model fit the data in all groups at a fair level. Tests that tightened the rules step by step backed the view that the theme and the item weights hold across groups. That base lets later work test if mean scores can be fairly set side by side.
