✦ Synopsis

Introduction:

Health educators who teach professionals about evidence-based practice (EBP) need instruments to measure change in skills and knowledge. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the interrater reliability, internal consistency, and responsiveness of the Adapted Fresno Test (AFT) of competence in EBP.

Methods: Reliability testing involved 2 raters. The AFT was completed by 114 occupational therapists before, and 106 therapists after a 2-day workshop on EBP. A random sample of 20 completed tests (10 pre-and 10 postworkshop = Versions 1 and 2) were scored by 2 raters. Interrater reliability was calculated with the use of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC, 1,2) for 7 summed subtest scores and the total AFT score. Internal consistency was calculated with the use of Cronbach's ␣. Responsiveness was calculated by comparing mean pre-post change scores, change in low scorers with high scorers.
