“…Behavior rating scales are commonly used for screening behavior problems as well as evaluating treatment outcomes of young children because of their ease of administration and amenability to normative comparison. Although increased attention has been given to the psychometric characteristics of behavior rating scales (Bagner, Harwood, & Eyberg, 2006), a review of the literature shows that few studies have examined the psychometric properties of behavior rating scales with children from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds (Tyson, 2004). This gap in the literature is problematic given the adequacy of a rating scale to screen and evaluate treatment outcomes may not extend to children from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds because of differences in scale reliability or validity (Knight & Hill, 1998; Knight, Roosa, & Umaña-Taylor, 2009).…”

This study examined the cross-racial measurement equivalence of the three Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory Intensity Scale factors, found by Stern and Johnson: Oppositional Defiant Behavior, Attention Difficulties, and Conduct Problems. Cross-racial measurement equivalence was examined between 278 low-income African American and 119 non-Latino White children aged 3 to 6 years. Results did not support configural equivalence of the three subscales between groups. Exploratory factor analyses conducted separately for each racial group showed support for a single factor structure in both groups. Convergent validity of the Intensity Scale was found separately for both groups. Findings suggest the three Intensity Scale factors should not be used to screen or compare treatment outcomes of specific externalizing behavior problems among community samples that include low-income non-Latino White and African American preschoolers.

“…Overall, the questionnaire utilized was able to distinguish between baseline and post‐intervention groups (see Tables and ), thus demonstrating discriminative validity. Furthermore, a significant difference was established across most items, suggesting that primary care intervention had some impact on patient satisfaction scores.…”

Summary Primary care is generally perceived by the public as an inefficient, low‐quality source of health care in the Philippines. Taking a toll on local health policies, the repercussions of these views warrant a more holistic approach in understanding patient experience. This paper evaluates the impact of strengthening primary care services on patient satisfaction at the University of the Philippines Health Service (UPHS). A prevalidated 16‐item, 5‐scale questionnaire was distributed to 200 eligible patients at the start of the study in 2016 and then again in 2017. A significant increase of highly satisfied patients in 13 of 16 questionnaire items was recorded after primary care services in the facility were strengthened. The highest satisfaction scores were reported for overall wait times, coordination of care, and health advice. Our findings suggest that improvements in primary care services through digitalizing health records, financing laboratory and pharmaceutical services, and retraining staff accounts for significant improvements in patient satisfaction. This ultimately bears potential for better clinical outcomes in form of patient retention and long‐term care.
