Overview

Psychometric properties assessed between Brazil and the US, suggesting cross-cultural differences in transition readiness measurements.

Key Points

  • The SMSC demonstrated strong psychometric properties, providing a valid tool for assessing transition readiness in sickle cell disease.
  • Measurement invariance analysis indicated cross-cultural differences, suggesting variations in item interpretation between Brazil and the US.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure, with a reduced 14-item version showing improved model fit indices.
  • Findings underscore the need for future research to evaluate predictive validity and explore cultural adaptations for broader use.
