BANKS-SP-Knowledge was not statistically significantly correlated with other BANKS-SP scales or single items measuring intention to donate a biospecimen for research and receptivity for learning more about biospecimen research.Ĭonclusions: The BANKS-SP Attitudes and Self-Efficacy scales show evidence of satisfactory reliability and validity. Intention to donate blood and intention to donate urine were positively correlated with attitudes, self-efficacy, and receptivity to learning more about biobanking (all p’s <.001). The final Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the two scales that use Likert response format indicated adequate internal consistency (Attitudes: α=.79 Self-Efficacy: α=.91). Results: The final BANKS-SP includes 3 scales: Attitudes, Knowledge, and Self-Efficacy as well as 3 single items, which evaluated receptivity and intention to donate a biospecimen for research. Draft BANKS-SP items were refined through cognitive interviews, and psychometric properties were assessed in a sample of 85 Spanish-speaking individuals recruited at various community events in a three county area in Central West Florida, USA. Methods: The BANKS was translated into Spanish using the Brislin method of translation. This study describes the development and psychometric properties of the Biobanking Attitudes aNd Knowledge Survey-Spanish (BANKS-SP). Background: Few research studies with non-English-Speaking audiences have been conducted to explore community members’ views on biospecimen donation and banking, and no validated Spanish-language multi-scale instruments exist to measure community perspectives on biobanking.
