Development and validation of the Attitude to Mental Illness-14 (AMI-14) Scale, a brief version of the AMI-20, through a multicentric survey involving medical undergraduates.

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 Attitude to Mental Illness-20 (AMI 20) questionnaire is a widely used instrument to assess medical students' Attitudes Toward Mental Illness and Psychiatry (ATMIP). However, it lacks psychometric assessment, limiting its wider utility. The current study was undertaken to assess the latent structure of the AMI 20 and establish its psychometric properties. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis observational study involved 88 fourth-semester medical undergraduates from three institutes in India. Through an online survey, sociodemographic data along with their ATMIP (attitude toward Psychiatry 30 (ATP-30) and AMI 20 questionnaire) and their willingness to enroll in the Early Exposure Psychiatry Enrichment Program (EEPEP) were collected. Characteristics of the participants were reported through descriptive statistics. Fleiss Kappa coefficient was used for content validity. Reliability of the AMI-14 scale was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency). Concurrent validity (correlating the ATP-30 and AMI-14 and subdomain scores) and convergent validity (bivariate regression analysis with willingness to join the EEPEP and AMI-14 scores as explanatory and responsive variables, respectively) were assessed. The relationship between gender and willingness to enroll in the EEPEP and ATP 30 and AMI-14 scores were assessed by the
resultsThe AMI-14 scale has two dimensions: knowledge (6 items) and attitude (8 items). The scale has moderately good content validity (Fleiss Kappa coefficient = 0.47), acceptable internal consistency (
conclusionsThe AMI-14 scale with its two domains, has reasonable psychometric properties. Greater cross-cultural validity of the scale is recommended.
