Article Description

The aim of this study was to construct the Courtesy Stigma among Family Members of Drug Users Scale (ECOFAD) and to seek evidence of content validity and internal structure. From the literature review on Courtesy Stigma in the PsycNET (APA), PubMed, BVS Brasil, CAPES Periodicals, SciELO, and PePSIC databases, 6 instruments were identified that measure this phenomenon and that supported the construction of a scale with 3 dimensions (cognitive, affective and behavioral). A committee of seven expert judges evaluated the instrument, with the Content Validity Coefficients for the writing, clarity and relevance of the items being:.78,.82 and.87, respectively. In the online sample (n=86), the reliability index of the subscales varied, with Cronbach's Alpha from.81 to.89. Exploratory Factor Analysis indicated three factors as the most representative for the set of variables observed.
