title: [Adolescents' fear of dental treatment: development and evaluation of a cognitive inventory].
abstract: Morin et al.'s Inventaire cognitif de la peur des traitements dentaires pour adolescent(e)s [Adolescents' Fear of Dental Treatment Cognitive Inventory] was administered to 343 subjects. Factor analysis revealed a single general factor that accounted for 33.5 per cent of the total variance. A reliability test revealed an alpha coefficient of 0.91, which was quite acceptable. A measure of test-retest reliability over a four-week period (N = 181) indicated that the scale was stable over time (r = 0.85). Standard error of measurement was found to be 4.63. Normative data are provided along with a description of the final version of the scale.
