Résumé

The accountability inherent in the social interaction between a patient and healthcare provider affects patients' motivation to adhere to treatment. To characterize the role of accountability as a tool to improve self-efficacy and self-management and thereby promote patients' adherence to treatment, a measure of accountability is needed. To develop and test the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of a new outcome measure designed to assess accountability. The accountability measurement tool was developed from the literature, expert consultation, and focus groups. A focus group and three pilot studies were performed both in clinic and through an online crowdsourcing platform. Principal Component Analysis evaluated constructs, and Cronbach's alpha measured internal consistency. Validity was established using convergent and divergent correlations to other validated scales. A total of 292 participants took part in this study. The 12-item accountability scale demonstrated very good internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.92). Components of the accountability measurement tool correlated with predicted validated measures, including the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire. Divergent validity was established with no significant difference noted between age, sex, race, and education level. Future use of this questionnaire will allow for the assessment of the interaction between accountability and adherence to treatment and lead to the development of new interventions to promote better adherence.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The accountability inherent in the social interaction between a patient and healthcare provider affects patients' motivation to adhere to treatment. To characterize the role of accountability as a tool to improve self-efficacy and self-management and thereby promote patients' adherence to treatment, a measure of accountability is needed.
AIMS OBJECTIVE
To develop and test the validity, reliability, and sensitivity of a new outcome measure designed to assess accountability.
METHODS METHODS
The accountability measurement tool was developed from the literature, expert consultation, and focus groups. A focus group and three pilot studies were performed both in clinic and through an online crowdsourcing platform. Principal Component Analysis evaluated constructs, and Cronbach's alpha measured internal consistency. Validity was established using convergent and divergent correlations to other validated scales.
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 292 participants took part in this study. The 12-item accountability scale demonstrated very good internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.92). Components of the accountability measurement tool correlated with predicted validated measures, including the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire. Divergent validity was established with no significant difference noted between age, sex, race, and education level.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Future use of this questionnaire will allow for the assessment of the interaction between accountability and adherence to treatment and lead to the development of new interventions to promote better adherence.
