“…In fact, content validity means that how much the content of a tool represents the measured structure's characteristics (15); and if a tool has no content validity, its reliability is unacceptable (12,16). While content validity can provide useful information about the representativeness and clarity of each Iran Red Crescent Med J.…”

“…Therefore, after ensuring the validity of a checklist, its reliability was calculated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The internal consistency shows the relationship among the items of a questionnaire (15,16,18). Reliability coefficient of 0.70 or more for a tool is acceptable to be used in a study (26), but alpha coefficient should not be more than 0.90 because this shows repetitive items (27).…”

Background: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are one of the essential measures of modern governments' management to improve social, political, and developmental activities. They play an important role in the process of development in most countries.Objectives: The present study was conducted to design and validate the checklist of NGOs' practice in Kerman (Iran) where the scope of their activities is increasingly more diverse and complex. The availability and access to a valid and reliable instrument is essential for intervention and promotion of non-governmental organizations. Methods:The checklist was designed and validated from the literature review, existing reports, and current statutes of NGOs. Content and structure validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis), and internal consistency were used to measure the psychometric components of the checklist. Our sample consisted of all 150 licensed NGOs in Kerman, and sampling was conducted from April 2014 to September 2015.Results: While the checklist showed acceptable content validity, exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 factors: (a) social influence, (b) social structure, and (c) participatory experience. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that fit indices were acceptable as χ 2 =1.65, CFI = 0.79, AGFI = 0.74, GFI = 0.82, and RMSEA = 0.1. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.7. Conclusions:Our results revealed that the checklist psychometric properties were acceptable. This checklist can be a start point for developing standard tools in the field of non-governmental organizations' activity. In addition, this tool can be a guide for the evaluation and enhancement of NGOs' activity.

“…It has also been pointed out that content validity is an essential and primary test for any new or revised scale. It cannot be preceded or substituted by other tests but can be followed by reliability tests or other types of validity such as construct validity or criterion-related validity (20)(21)(22).…”

SummaryBackground/objective: To assess the validity and reliability of a series of three questionnaires for the quantification of patient perception of fixed appliance orthodontic treatment. Subjects and methods:The study was carried out at the University of Dundee with content and face validity being assessed using proformas. Initially ten experts (Orthodontic Specialists) assessed content validity with 11 professionals (seven Orthodontic Specialists and four Postgraduates) and 20 patients assessing face validity. Content validity was determined according to the values of item-level content validity index (I-CVI) and scale-level CVI (S-CVI/Ave), while specially designed feedback forms were used for face validation. Internal consistency determined the reliability of the questionnaires according to the value of Cronbach alpha correlation coefficient test. The three questionnaires were then modified according to the recommendations of professionals and patients with seven experts reassessing content validity and ten newly selected patients assessing face validity. Results: The first round of content validity revealed that around half of the items in the questionnaires were not valid. Therefore, the questionnaires were not valid as a whole (S-CVI/Ave = 0.60). After modifying the questionnaires and removing the non-valid items, the new versions of the Pretreatment, Orthodontic Experience, and Post-treatment Questionnaires showed high levels of face validity, content validity (S-CVI/Ave: 0.99, 0.97, and 0.99, respectively) and good levels of internal consistency (α = 0.86, 0.78, and 0.88, respectively). Limitation: The patient sample was collected from a single university clinic and from one city within the UK and this could affect the generalizability of the results. Conclusion: Three content valid and reliable questionnaires have been developed and validated for the evaluation of patient perception of fixed appliance orthodontic treatment. Implications: Unlike other tools that assess oral health quality of life, this series of three questionnaires assess the perception of fixed appliance orthodontic treatment before, during and after treatment.
