Development and validation of the General attitude towards Medication Questionnaire (GAMQ)
The newly developed GAMQ showed satisfactory psychometric properties in a variety of populations, although limitations should be considered. The GAMQ is the first scale to assess both positive and negative attitudes towards medication in general, providing indicators of Trust, Concerns, and Reluctance regarding medication. The scale may be an informative measure for predicting treatment outcomes and adherence, as well as placebo and nocebo effects in diverse samples.
