Validation of the eHealth Literacy Scale Instrument in a Restless Legs Syndrome Population: Classical Test Theory and Rasch Analysis Study
The eHEALS showed good validity and reliability and operated equivalently for men and women of different ages with various clinical and treatment conditions related to RLS. Accordingly, health care professionals can use eHEALS as a psychometrically sound tool to explore the digital health literacy level among patients with RLS.
