During the time of conducting our study, the reliability of the HADS as a clinical screening tool was critically questioned noting that although the HADS was used in TIDES, different measures were recommended from that international study.36 These measures were the PHQ - 9
for depression and the GAD - 7
for anxiety.4 36 Both these measures are recommended in the international guidelines
for mental health screening of patients with CF, 11 which are since being used in CF clinical settings.15 31 Because of the current shift away from using HADS as a screening tool
for depression and anxiety in CF, and because of the small sample sizes in each group (online and paper - based), we did not test
measurement invariance to determine if the online version of HADS is equivalent to the paper based version.
Despite the above limitations, the contribution of the present study is that we have provided strong evidence
for the construct validity,
measurement invariance across gender, reliability and convergent / discriminant validity of the MLQ, Greek version.
The
invariance analyses compared two models, an unconstrained model in which only
measurement model was constrained to be strictly invariant, but the structural model (regression weights and covariances) not, and a model testing both
measurement and structural
invariance (gender equality
for regression weights and covariances).

The Borderline Personality Features Scale

However, pediatric psychology researchers also need to make better use of newer statistical methods that allow
for better testing of latent constructs, factor structure relations, and assessment of
measurement invariance across populations.
In the areas of both SEM and item response theory, improved procedures
for item selection, identification of item bias, and
for establishing test and
measurement invariance have been developed (Byrne & Stewart, 2006; Glockner - Rist & Hoijtink, 2003; Hays, Brown, Brown, Spritzer, & Crall, 2006; Teresi, 2006) and warrant increased use.
