Psychometric validation of the French version of two scales measuring general (HLS19-Q12) and navigational (HLS19-NAV) health literacy using the Rasch model
Our results, based on a rigorous statistical analysis, verified the psychometric parameters of the French version of the HLS<sub>19</sub>-Q12 and HLS<sub>19</sub>-NAV scales. Despite strong correlation between both scales, each measured a different latent trait. Moreover, despite the fact that presence of DIF was weak, attention must nonetheless be paid when comparing scale response scores between young and older respondents.
