“…Third, all the data collected in the present study (i.e., SOMI, HHRSS, and AAQ) were self-reported. Therefore, single-rater biases, recall biases, and social desirability biases cannot be fully controlled [40][41][42]. Future studies using other objective measures to examine the concurrent validity of the SOMI are therefore warranted.…”

The present study examined the factor structure and concurrent validity of the traditional Chinese version of the Sexual Orientation Microaggression Inventory (SOMI) among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals in Taiwan. In total, 1000 self-identified LGB individuals completed the SOMI, HIV and Homosexuality Related Stigma Scale (HHRSS), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ). Different factor structures (including one-factor, four-factor, bifactor, and higher-order factor structures) were evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. The bifactor structure significantly outperformed all others on the SOMI. The bifactor structure with one general factor and four trait factors was found to be measurement invariant across biological sex with satisfactory fit indices. The SOMI general factor was significantly associated with HHRSS-Homosexuality score and AAQ score. The findings indicate that the SOMI is a psychometrically sound instrument for Taiwan sexual minority groups. More specifically, SOMI can be used to accurately assess microaggression among LGB individuals. The measure on microaggression may also provide insights for healthcare providers about LGB individuals’ sexuality-related stigma. Moreover, healthcare providers and relevant stakeholders can use the SOMI to understand how LGB individuals perceive and feel microaggression.

“…The present study used two common instruments. EFS was used in clinical trials conducted by Tarazona-Santabalbina and colleagues (Tarazona-Santabalbina et al, 2016) and Clegg and colleagues (Clegg et al, 2014) and FRAIL was used by Yu and colleagues (Yu et al, 2020) These instruments were selected because EFS is used to assess frailty in older people with cognitive impairment (Mondal and Mondal, 2018) and FRAIL is correlated with dementia and is a friendly instrument for clinical practice (Ruiz et al, 2020). Despite being the most widely used in the literature, Fried's seminal phenotype criteria (Fried et al, 2001) do not include cognitive impairment in the assessment.…”

“…Due to the degree of subjectivity in evaluations involving individuals with AD, the clinician who evaluated the participant and the caregiver answered questions addressing their perceptions in order to diminish social acceptability bias (answer from participants considered socially acceptable). The literature shows that this type of bias is a confounding factor that can result in the overestimation of data on subjective, self-administered instruments (Tracey, 2016;Adams et al, 2005;Mondal and Mondal, 2018).…”

“…15,16,38,39 It is impossible to distinguish whether the higher estimation by self-report in general is reflective of social desirability bias or perhaps an underestimation of adherence by claims. 35,40,41 Regardless, prior research has shown that while adherence measured via selfreport and claims may not correlate well with each other, both are separately correlated with blood pressure control, suggesting that the measures provide complementary information about patients' medication-taking. 42 The modest associations observed in this work and others could be explained in several ways.…”

Background: Less than half of patients with cardiometabolic disease consistently take prescribed medications. While health insurers and some delivery organizations use claims to measure adherence, most clinicians do not have access during routine interactions. Self-reported scales exist, but their practical utility is often limited by length or cost. By contrast, the accuracy of a new 3-item self-reported measure has been demonstrated in individuals with HIV. We evaluated its concordance with claims-based adherence measures in cardiometabolic disease. Methods:We used data from a recently-completed pragmatic trial of patients with cardiometabolic conditions. After 12 months of follow-up, intervention subjects were mailed a survey with the 3-item measure that queries about medication use in the prior 30 days. Responses were linearly transformed and averaged. Adherence was also measured in claims in Month 12 and Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.
