Discriminant content validity of a theoretical domains framework questionnaire for use in implementation research
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: To improve the implementation of innovations in healthcare settings, it is important to understand factors influencing healthcare professionals' behaviors. We aimed to develop a generic questionnaire in English and in Dutch assessing the 14 domains of behavioral determinants from the revised TDF (Cane et al., 2012) that can be tailored to suit different targets, actions, contexts, and times of interest, and to investigate questionnaire items' discriminant content validity. METHODS: We identified existing questionnaires including items assessing constructs within TDF domains and developed new items where needed. Nineteen judges allocated 79 items to one or more TDF domains. One-sample t-tests were used to examine the discriminant content validity of each item, i.e., whether items measured intended domains or whether items measured a combination of domains. RESULTS: We identified items judged to discriminately measure 11 out of 14 domains. Items measuring the domains Reinforcement, Goals, and Behavioral regulation were judged to measure a combination of domains. CONCLUSIONS: We have developed a questionnaire in English and in Dutch able to discriminately assess the majority of TDF domains. The results partly support Cane et al.'s (2012) 14-domain validation of the TDF and suggest that Michie et al.'s (2005) 12-domain original version might be more applicable in developing a TDF-based questionnaire. The identified items provide a robust basis for developing a questionnaire to measure TDF-based determinants of healthcare professionals' implementation behaviors to suit different targets, actions, contexts, and times. Future research should investigate the concurrent and predictive validity and reliability of such a questionnaire in practice.

TL;DR
This study developed a generic English and Dutch Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) questionnaire and tested the discriminant content validity of its items using expert judges. Of 79 items, 32 were judged to discriminately measure 11 of the 14 revised TDF domains, while items for Reinforcement, Goals, and Behavioral regulation were not.
Key findings
- Nineteen judges allocated 79 items to TDF domains; 32 items were classified as measuring their intended domain, covering 11 of 14 domains: Knowledge, Skills, Social/professional role and identity, Beliefs about capabilities, Optimism, Beliefs about consequences, Intentions, Memory/attention/decision processes, Environmental context and resources, Social influences, and Emotion.
- Items intended to measure Reinforcement, Goals, and Behavioral regulation were not classified to their intended domains and were excluded from the final questionnaire.
- Inter-rater agreement was moderate for all 79 items (Light’s κ = .56, 95% CI .50–.62) and almost perfect for the final 32 items (κ = .82, 95% CI .79–.85).
- The authors conclude the results partly support Cane et al.’s 14-domain TDF and suggest Michie et al.’s original 12-domain version might be more applicable for developing a TDF-based questionnaire.
Methods
- The authors developed a questionnaire with 79 items assessing the 14 revised TDF domains, using existing validated items where available and newly developed items where needed; items used a generic “[action] in [context, time] with [target]” TACT construction and were developed in English, translated to Dutch, and back-translated.
- Fifty-eight academics were approached and 19 participated (33% response rate); they rated their expertise on each domain and allocated each item to up to three TDF domains, rating confidence in each allocation from 0% to 100%.
- Discriminant content validity was tested with one-sample one-tailed t-tests on confidence-weighted judgments, with false discovery rate correction; Light’s kappa assessed inter-rater agreement.
Limitations
- The authors state the DCV task was challenging because judges allocated 79 items across 14 domains; a larger number of judges and a less complex task might have provided more information, and validity as perceived by an academic audience may differ from “real life.”
- The authors state the final questionnaire requires refinement: most domains need more items (at least three per domain), Environmental context and resources items were framed only in socio-political terms, Emotion items assessed general Stress rather than behavior-specific Affect, and Knowledge could be improved with additional items.
- Evident from the text: the final questionnaire contains no items for Reinforcement, Goals, or Behavioral regulation and only two items for several domains, and concurrent validity, predictive validity, and reliability were not tested in this study; the authors call for future research on these properties.

In the paper
“The framework has been used in a number of studies and was demonstrated to be useful for the development of qualitative [32,33] and quantitative [34-36] measurement tools to assess potential implementation behavior determinants.”
§ Discriminant content validity of a theoretical domains framework questionnaire for use in implementation research > Background
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [32] Patey AM, Islam R, Francis JJ, Bryson GL, Grimshaw JM: Anesthesiologists’ And surgeons’ perceptions about routine pre-operative testing in low-risk patients: application of the theoretical domains framework (TDF) to identify factors that influence physicians’ decisions to order pre-operative tests. Implement Sci. 2012, 7: 52-10.1186/1748-5908-7-52. source
The Background states that this study used the TDF to examine anesthesiologists’ and surgeons’ beliefs about pre-operative testing. It also identifies the article as one in a series documenting TDF use, so this paper supports its citation as an example of a study using the framework. (LLM, conf=0.92)
- Supportedcites [33] McSherry LA, Dombrowski SU, Francis JJ, Murphy J, Martin CM, O’Leary JJ, Sharp L, ATHENS Group: 'It’s a can of worms’: understanding primary care practitioners’ behaviours in relation to HPV using the theoretical domains framework. Implement Sci. 2012, 7: 73-10.1186/1748-5908-7-73. source
The Background identifies this as a study that used the TDF and describes it as one of a series on the framework’s use. The Discussion (“Reflections on using the TDF”; page unavailable) describes applying it to qualitative interview data. This paper therefore supports the citing sentence by providing an example of TDF use in a qualitative study. (LLM, conf=0.90)

The Methods section says the authors developed a questionnaire based on the theoretical-domains framework to assess factors affecting guideline implementation. The Discussion (Main findings) identifies the study as a quantitative application of that framework, supporting its citation as one of the studies using it to develop a measurement tool. (LLM, conf=0.92)

A cross-sectional survey of perceived implementation difficulties among midwives in the northeast of England. Implement Sci. 2012, 7: 36-10.1186/1748-5908-7-36. source
The Background describes several earlier studies using the TDF. This paper also uses it in a self-completion questionnaire to assess midwives’ perceived implementation difficulties, and the Conclusion calls it an appropriate way to understand healthcare professionals’ behaviour. It therefore supports the cited point about use in quantitative measurement, while noting that the questionnaire needs refinement. (LLM, conf=0.91)

The Background says researchers have applied the TDF to healthcare practitioner behavior using qualitative interviews, indicating use in multiple studies. The Discussion also reports this paper’s development and testing of questionnaire scales based on the framework. (LLM, conf=0.91)

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
