Existing scales to measure trust in physicians have differing content and limited testing. To improve on these measures, a large item pool (n = 78) was generated following a detailed conceptual model and expert review. After pilot testing, the best-performing items were validated with a random national sample (n = 9) and a regional sample of HMO members (n = 99). Various psychometric test...... hiện toàn bộ
