Most validated questionnaires that are widely used around the world are created in a non-native language. If such a questionnaire is to be used in a native-speaking population, it must first be validated. This book aims to be a useful guide for describing all the steps required for validating a questionnaire. This book also provided a standard checklist with 17 items that are recommended to serve as a useful guide for researchers conducting questionnaire validation research.
