Validation Of CAM Questionnaire To Access Literacy About Breast Cancer in Brazilian Population - QuIC-Mama.

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
objectiveValidated tools to assess the population's cancer-related knowledge are scarce in Brazil. Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) is a validated tool developed by Cancer Research UK. We aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Breast Module of the CAM questionnaire to be used in Brazil to access literacy in breast cancer.
methodsThree independent volunteers conducted the instrument's translation. The translated version was revised by twelve healthcare professionals who made nearly thirty edits to improve understanding of the translated version. Then, the questionnaire was pilot-tested with thirty individuals, who rated the degree of question comprehension on a scale from 0 to 5. Content validity was assessed by five oncology specialists. The final version was administered to one hundred patients, and internal consistency was calculated by Cronbach's Alpha.
resultsWomen in the pilot test had an average comprehension of 4.88 (± 0.1). Thus, no modifications were made to the piloted questionnaire. Content validity showed a final clarity score of 0.93 and relevance score of 0.94. Among the one hundred patients, responses to the questionnaire indicated low literacy about breast cancer, and Cronbach's Alpha was 0.77.
conclusionsIt was possible to obtain a validated instrument for surveying and monitoring the literacy of the Brazilian population regarding breast cancer. The instrument was named QuIC-Mama. This and similar tools for increasing awareness could be used in other low- and middle-income countries based on tool development in high-income countries after testing, validation, and cultural adaptation.
