Validity and reliability of a survey to identify vaccine-hesitant parents.
Douglas J. Opel,James Taylor,Rita Mangione-Smith,Rita Mangione-Smith,Cam Solomon,Chuan Zhao,Sheryl L. Catz,Diane P. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: The revised survey is a valid and reliable instrument to identify vaccine-hesitant parents and Cronbach's α coefficients for the 3 sub-domain scales created by grouping the remaining 15 items were .74, .84, and .75, respectively.
