The diabetes management experiences questionnaire: Psychometric validation among adults with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
The 22-item DME-Q is a brief, acceptable, reliable measure with satisfactory structural and construct validity, which is responsive to intervention. The DME-Q is likely to be useful for evaluation of new pharmaceutical agents and technologies in research and clinical settings.
