Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the pros and cons of anorexia nervosa (P-CAN-C) scale: a validation study in patients with anorexia nervosa
The P-CAN has shown promising psychometric properties among Chinese patients with AN. In terms of dimensionality, the Chinese context aligns closely with the original scale's binary division into Pro-AN and Con-AN. However, the further differentiation into ten dimensions, may not be culturally appropriate for the Chinese context.
