I am presenting the original 1996 validation study for the simplified therapeutic intervention scoring system (TISS-28) to a very new journal club. We are all pretty new at critical appraisal. This is our first venture away from review articles which we used the CASP critical appraisal tool to guide our critiques. I am having a very hard time finding some simple guidelines for critical appraisal for tool validation studies.
here is a link to the abstract.

Thank
Thank you for directing me to these resources. They are good references for critiquing a variety of different types of research articles including systematic reviews. These tools however do not address my specific question about research articles which focus on developing validation evidence for different scales or tools.
Hello Vini, did you ever find a suitable critical appraisal tool for scale validation studies? I am currently trying to find one myself.
