Design outcomes

| Aim of the study is, to compare our data in respect of the internal consistency, reliability, validity, responsiveness and sensitivity to those data of other studies which previously successfully translated and validated the SAQLI in an other language and of the original approval study of the SAQLI. If this comparison shows sufficient comparability, our aim of validating the SAQLI for the German speaking population would be reached. | — |
