Thus, total scores are calculated by adding responses to items 1 to 12 and item 14, so they can range between 0 and 52.
The key difference between Mokken scales and Rasch scales is that the latter assumes that all items have the same item response function.

Trained clinicians or clinical researchers administer the assessment to both the child and the parent, which each provide their own separate score for each item (P and C), and the total score encompasses the sum of all of the items (S). The KMRS is an alternative the Mania Rating Scale designed by Young et al. (frequently referred to as the YMRS).
There are a number of instruments measuring similar constructs, including My Health Confidence, Patient Health Engagement Scale, Stanford self-efficacy for managing chronic disease 6-item scale, ICECAP-A (the ICEpop CAPability measure for Adults), [9] the Health Literacy Questionnaire and the Health Confidence Score.
