 AB    The authors report on the quantitative analysis phase in the development
       of the Healthcare Needs Scales for Patients with HIV/AIDS (Berk, Poe, &
       Bagis-Smith, 1992). The scales were administered to a cross-sectional
       sample of 386 patients from hospital, outpatient HIV clinic, homecare,
       and long-term care settings. The authors collected construct validity
       evidence based on a factor analysis and comprehensive item, subscale,
       and scale analyses, concurrent validity evidence of primary caretakers
       serving as proxies for hospital patients, and internal consistency
       reliability evidence. The results produced an instrument for diagnosing
       the psychosocial and physiological needs of the target population.
