CFI value 0.909 with the significant model fit p<0.05 with appropriate model fit indices. HTS also conformed to good test-retest reliability (r=0.954, p=.000) at a 0.01 alpha level which is indicated the scale is a reliable measure for harassment tendency.

During the period of detention under the MHA, these same issues are likely to persist, with additional concerns including access to legal advice on immigration and ability to maintain links with government agencies on immigration status.…”
