A Comprehensive Method for the Translation and Cross-Cultural Validation of Health Status Questionnaires

Eremenco, Sonya L., Cella, David, Arnold, Benjamin J.·2005·Evaluation & the Health Professions

Abstract

The FACIT (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) translation methodology has been in use for nearly 10 years and, during the course of that time, has emphasized a universal translation approach that includes multicountry review, the use of qualitative and quantitative methods in testing, and the exploration of new methods such as differential item functioning (DIF) analysis using item response theory to evaluate item equivalence. The FACIT translation methodology aims to establish equivalence of meaning and measurement between different country versions through the use of the decentered model of translation and advanced statistical methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
