Phase two: Applying the Delphi technique
The Delphi technique was used to reach a convergence of opinion about
the most important items to include in the questionnaire, based on the
answers of an expert panel (23,24). This phase involved providing the
AAMQ-V1 to the panel for review. The view format included a tabulation
of all included items along with the wording of items that would
accompany the items. The panel review was organized in two rounds. These
rounds involved the panel members allocating scores on criteria related
to each item. The experts were requested to assess the face, and the
content validity (if the selected items covered the three domains of
interest (Belief, Barrier, and Behavior)) of the AAMQ-V1.
