Arafat S M Yasir
Psychometrics has a very important role in psychiatry, primary health care, public health, and many other fields for measuring the attitude [1]. With the increase in the number of multicultural research projects, the need to adapt scales or tools for use in other than the source language has also grown rapidly [2]. Cross cultural adaptation demands to follow standard psychometric validation process to assess the health outcomes appropriately and researchers using instruments in different culture after validation [2]. Currently most of the researchers are mentioning cross sectional study as the study design during performing the validation studies with few hesitations in regards to the study design [2,3].
