An adapted version of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality’s Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems Adult Specialty
Care Clinician Questionnaire (Hargraves, Hays, &
Cleary, 2003) was used, including eight items regarding
care received from NPs, including provider communication,
health promotion and education, help with
problems or concerns, and demographics (Cronbach
alpha > 0.75). A six-point Likert-type scale ranging from
1 (not at all) to 6 (all the time) was used. Participants
also were asked to add any comments about the SCP.
