AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the psychometric properties of both the long- and 
      short-form versions of the Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD) instrument in a 
      large sample of the Australian adult population. METHODS: Data were from a subset 
      of the National Dental Telephone Interview Survey 2013. Both the long (HeLD-29) 
      and short-form (HeLD-14) were utilised, each of which comprises items from 7 
      conceptual domains: access, understanding, support, utilization, economic 
      barriers, receptivity and communication. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was 
      performed through structural equation modelling to determine factorial validity, 
      where the Chi(2)/df, comparative fit, goodness of fit and root mean square error of 
      approximation were used as indices of goodness of fit. Convergent validity was 
      estimated from the average variance extracted (AVE) and composite reliability 
      (CR), while internal consistency was estimated by Cronbach standardized alpha. 
      RESULTS: The dataset comprised 2,936 Australian adults aged 18+ years. The 
      kurtosis and skewness values indicated an approximation to a normal distribution. 
      Adequate fit was demonstrated for HeLD-14, but not for HeLD-29. Estimates of >/= 
      0.50 for AVE and >/= 0.70 for CR were demonstrated across all factors for both 
      HeLD-29 and HeLD-14, indicating acceptable convergent validity for both forms. 
      Discriminant validity was also demonstrated for both forms. Internal consistency 
      was adequate in the seven conceptual domains for both HeLD forms, with Cronbach's 
      alpha for all subscales being >/=0.70. CONCLUSIONS: The psychometric properties of 
      the HeLD instrument in a large sample of the Australian adult population were 
      confirmed. The short form HeLD-14 was more parsimonious than the long-form 
      (HeLD-29).
