TI  - The Assessment of Adult Health Care Orientations: Development and Preliminary 
      Validation of the Multidimensional Health Profile-Health Functioning Index 
      (MHP-H) in a National Sample.
PG  - 79-91
AB  - This paper describes the development and preliminary validation of the 
      Multidimensional Health Profile-Health Functioning Index (MHP-H), a 69-item 
      self-report instrument designed to assess a variety of behaviors, perceptions, 
      attitudes, and beliefs presumed to influence health status and the pursuit of lay 
      and professional health care. The MHP-H briefly measures adult health history, 
      health habits, health care utilization, health beliefs and attitudes, and 
      response to illness (help-seeking behaviors). A national sample of adults (N = 
      673) was assessed, comprising 3 age groupings (18-32, 33-50, and 51-89) crossed 
      with gender and then further subdivided into several subsamples for purposes of 
      reliability and validity assessment. In addition, a group of spouse "key 
      informants" was also recruited. Preliminary validation of single-item indicators 
      as well as confirmatory factor analyses of multi-item scales was achieved. The 
      present findings support the psychometric and practical utility of the MHP-H and 
      warrant its use by health psychologists in a variety of research and applied 
      settings.
