Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* The development of the theoretical test and its items. The test content will be based on a broad literature search, and on semi-structured interviews with content experts.
* The subsequent collection of validity evidence for this theoretical test and final selection of the test items, by testing groups that differ based on their expertise. The item analysis and observed difference in mean score between the groups will provide the validity evidence.
