Background: This data set was used to study the reliability and validity of the Addiction Medicine Training Need Assessment Scale across four countries: The Netherlands, Indonesia Lithuania Ireland as published in the Journal of substance abuse treatment. 2019 Apr 1;99:61-6. For a detailed explanation, we refer to the original article. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the AM-TNA Scale. Methods: In a cross-sectional study in 4 countries the AM-TNA was distributed in standard training settings. The scores of 403 respondents were used to assess the factor structure using explorative factor analysis. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's Alpha, ANOVA determined the discriminative validity. Results: Validity: factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure: One on providing direct patient treatment and care (Factor 1: clinical) and one factor on facilitating/supporting direct patient treatment and care (Factor 2: non-clinical) AM competencies and a cumulative 76% explained variance. Reliability: Factor 1 α = 0.983 and Factor 2: α = 0.956, while overall reliability was (α = 0.986). The AM-TNA was able to differentiate training needs across groups of AM professionals on all 30 addiction medicine competencies (P = .001). Conclusions: In our study, the AM-TNA scale had a strong two-factor structure and was proven to be a reliable and valid instrument. The next step should be testing external validity, strengthening discriminant validity and assessing the re-test effect and measuring changes over time. Explanation of the RAW DATA Excel sheet.
