TL;DR
It is found that the English TBQ is a reliable instrument in this population, and evidence supporting the construct validity for its use to assess treatment burden for patients with one or more chronic conditions in English-speaking countries is provided.
Abstract
We found that the English TBQ is a reliable instrument in this population, and provide evidence supporting the construct validity for its use to assess treatment burden for patients with one or more chronic conditions in English-speaking countries.
