Translation, adaptation and psychometric testing of the Digital Health Technology Literacy Assessment Questionnaire (DHTL-AQ) in the Serbian language.
Article in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe use of digital health technologies (DHTs), systems that use computing platforms, connectivity, software, and/or sensors for health care and related uses, is rapidly increasing. Assessing literacy in this area may be challenging given the absence of comprehensive instruments, especially those dedicated to health care professionals. The digital health technology literacy assessment questionnaire (DHTL-AQ) is a 34-item instrument that assesses an individual's ability to use DHTs, services, and data.
aimTo translate and culturally adapt the DHTL-AQ and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Serbian version.
methodThe DHTL-AQ English version was translated into Serbian, back-translated, and adapted via expert consensus discussion. Pilot testing was conducted among a population of community pharmacists. To gather evidence of initial validity, the culturally adapted version was tested in the same population as the pilot. Reliability was examined using Cronbach's alpha (Cα), and a test-retest methodology for temporary stability. Validity was explored through factor analysis.
resultsA pilot study (n = 22) included linguistic and cultural adjustments, confirming the item comprehensibility. The final Serbian DHTL-AQ consists of 5 questions and 25 items. The psychometric analysis (n = 162) indicated, satisfactory internal consistency (Cα = 0.822) and temporal stability (ICC = 0.981). Factor analysis identified 3 factors that explained 52% of the total variance, reducing the number of factors to 3 compared with 4 into the original questionnaire.
conclusionThe culturally adapted DHTL-AQ Serbian version demonstrated strong psychometric properties. Practical application can support the development and implementation of customized education and training programs and new DHT-related services that pharmacists can offer patients.
