Note. Item 13 had no variation and was excluded. Item 22 was excluded and used as a validation measure. Loadings ≥ | 20 | considered meaningful. 0.00 items that were estimated as 0 by the model. ED=emergency department, MH=mental health, AIC=Aikaike Information Criteria, RMSEA=root mean squared error of approximation.

Bolded items are those with loadings at least | 0.20 |.

a

The AIC is higher in the two factor model because some categories of items in the one factor models were combined.
