“…The difference in findings between those of OPCERG and others may be explained in a variety of ways by differences in their design, methods and populations or they may be an artefact of The disagreement about the psychological impact of false-positive screening results may be explained by the type of outcome measures used, whether disease-specific or generic. Brodersen et al, [116][117][118][119] from the University of Copenhagen, have written a number of papers on the subject of measuring psychological distress in women who have received false-positive mammograms. In particular, they conducted a literature review to find out how suitable the outcome measures used in studies of false-positive mammograms were for detecting psychological distress.…”

Reports are published in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) if (1) they have resulted from work for the HTA programme, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the reviewers and editors.Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed 'systematic' when the account of the search appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others. HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance. HTA research is also an important source of evidence for National Screening Committee (NSC) policy decisions.For more information about the HTA programme please visit the website: http://www.hta.ac.uk/ This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HTA programme as project number 09/145/01. The contractual start date was in March 2011. The draft report began editorial review in November 2011 and was accepted for publication in June 2012.

Background: In the UK, women aged 50-73 years are invited for screening by mammography every 3 years. In 2009-10, more than 2.24 million women in this age group in England were invited to take part in the programme, of whom 73% attended a screening clinic. Of these, 64,104 women were recalled for assessment. Of those recalled, 81% did not have breast cancer; these women are described as having a false-positive mammogram.

“…The PCQ was successfully used in different studies measuring psychological morbidity related to mammography screening [5][6][7][8][9][10], and was found to be an adequate questionnaire for measuring short-term consequences of falsepositive screening [11]. Consistent with use in the literature [5-7, 9, 10], we adapted the three subscales into Dutch (Table 1).…”

“…To date, the PCQ was broadly used in measuring short-term screening impact in the context of mammography screening [6][7][8][9][10][11] and was also adapted to other types of cancer such as colorectal [12], anal [13] and skin cancer [14]. Cross-cultural adaptations produced translated versions of the PCQ in Dutch [6] and Danish [15] indicating a high usability of the instrument. To best of our knowledge, no German version of the PCQ exists so far.…”

“…However, we assume that liver cirrhosis is comparable to cancer in terms of the life-threatening perception of the population and thus consider the adaptation of the PCQ as suitable in this context. Consistent with the translation into Danish [15], we adapted not only the negative but also the positive items of the PCQ. The original PCQ comprises the three emotional, psychological and social dimensions, both measured by negative and positive items.…”

Background: This study aimed to translate the negative and positive items of the Psychological Consequences Questionnaire (PCQ) into German, to adapt this version to the context of screening for cirrhosis of the liver, and to test its psychometric properties. Methods: The three subscales (physical, emotional, and social) were translated into German using a forward-backward translation method. Furthermore, we adapted the wording to the context of liver diseases. We tested the acceptability, distribution properties, internal consistency, scale structure, and the convergent validity using an analysis sample of 443 patients who were screened for cirrhosis or fibrosis of the liver. Results: We found low non-response and non-unique answer rates on the PCQ items in general. However, positive items had higher non-response rates. All items showed strong floor effects. Cronbach’s alpha was high for both the negative (α = 0.95) and the positive PCQ scale (α = 0.90), as well as for the total PCQ scale (α = 0.90). Confirmatory factor analysis could reproduce the three dimensions that the PCQ intends to measure. However, it suggests not summing up a total PCQ score and instead treat the subscales separately. Convergent validity with the short form of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y-6) was acceptable. Conclusions: Overall, our study results report a successful adaptation of the German PCQ with good performance in terms of acceptability, internal consistency, scale structure, and convergent validity. We could demonstrate that the German version of the PCQ is a useful and well-performing measurement for both negative and positive screening consequences, even in a non-cancer setting.
