| Notes when administering the tool |
The tool may be administered by anyone who can read/write in the appropriate language (this tool has three versions: West African French, Moore, and Dioula) in order to reach the majority population of Burkina Faso and local language groups. Scores are calculated by summing all items with equal weight. Based on the listed psychometrics, the suggested cut-off is a score of greater than or equal to 14. |
