Sexual and Reproductive Health Service Seeking Scale (SRHSSS): development, validity, and reliability.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundYoung adults are a diverse group with diverse cares, choices and preferences in accessing and using Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services, they should be at the center of the development of new managed models and solutions for the delivery of SRH services. The purpose of the study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the knowledge and attitudes of young adults about SRH and the barriers for accessing services, and to evaluate the attitudes and needs of young adults to receive SRH services.
methodsIn this study, the questions of the scale were developed through literature review, focus group interview with 8 people and expert evaluation were made, and a pre-test application was also carried out. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability testing were performed with a sample of 458 young adults. The re-test reliability was performed with 220 participants who were reached one month after the first measurement. Principal component analysis was used to establish the construct validity. The reliability of the scale was assessed using the Cronbach's alpha value.
resultsA 23-item scale has been developed to identify and evaluate young adults' thoughts, attitudes, and perceived barriers for accessing services regarding SRH. In the exploratory factor analysis conducted to examine the construct validity of SRHSSS, a four-factor structure was obtained that explained 89.45% of the total variance. The factor loadings of the scale items were found to vary between 0.78-0.97. At the same time, the Cronbach's alpha value of the scale is 0.90, indicates a good internal consistency.
conclusionsSRHSSS is a scale with sufficient validity and reliability to determine young adults' SRH Service Seeking.
