In analyses when the Doctor Trust scale was included, the loading for this item consistently exceeded 0.4.
IT, item in final insurer trust scale (see Appendix A); V, vulnerability item; PA, physician advocacy item added to existing Doctor Trust scale; Q, item dropped during scale development. Items were dropped based on weak or duplicate loadings (e.g., Q31), or to avoid duplication of content, maintain internal consistency, include all relevant domains, and minimize the number of items while ensuring a high-performing measure.
