This paper describes the development and evaluation of the Abortion Attributes Questionnaire (AAQ), an instrument designed to assess the perceived importance of specific characteristics of abortion methods. Women receiving medical abortions (n=186) and women who chose surgical procedures (n=118) completed the AAQ. Participants were asked to rate how important each of 21 characteristics would be "when choosing between surgical and medical abortion." Factor analyses revealed that the AAQ consists of four factors and, as subscales, the factors have good internal reliability. The validity of the AAQ was established through discriminant function and analysis and results indicated that three of the four factors predicted choice. Taken together, these findings provide empirical support for the constructs measured by the AAQ.
本文描述了堕胎属性问卷（AAQ）的开发与评估，这是一种旨在评估堕胎方法特定特征的感知重要性的工具。接受药物流产的女性（n = 186）和选择手术流产的女性（n = 118）完成了AAQ。参与者被要求对21个特征中的每一个在“选择手术流产和药物流产时”的重要程度进行评分。因子分析表明，AAQ由四个因子组成，作为分量表，这些因子具有良好的内部信度。通过判别函数和分析确定了AAQ的效度，结果表明四个因子中的三个预测了选择。综上所述，这些发现为AAQ所测量的结构提供了实证支持。
