mhGAP Intervention guide for mental, neurological and substance use disorders in non-specialized health settings: version 2.0
Conclusion: Although all tested models of BSQ showed good psychometric indicators, it is worth noting that they were obtained in different samples using the EFA and without theoretical plausible justification for the construction of the factors, which may make it difficult to choose a model for clinical use. Therefore, considering the importance of preserving the theoretical concept during the development of an instrument, we suggest to researchers and clinicians who are cautious about the use of models without theoretical support.
