Find an existing scale used in research studies. One way to find questionnaires is to use Google Scholar and the terms “scale” and a topic of interest such as depression, anxiety, children, etc. Some examples are the CES-D, Beck, and State Trait Anxiety Inventory. These are examples; please don’t use them for your discussion board. Once you find an existing scale, complete the following bullets:
Explain the purpose of the questionnaire. What information does it seek to understand?
Summarize the scale. Describe the questions or sections.
Report information about the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. How was it validated and with which populations?
