The assessment tool was reliable, when measured with the Cronbach’s alpha, with partial exception of the scores from Tunisia: Italy = 0.83 (95%CI: 0.78 – 0.87); Macedonia = 0.99 (0.98 – 0.99); Palestine = 0.86 (0.82 – 0.89); Tunisia = 0.54 (0.44 – 0.64).
The four countries showed statistically significant differences with regards to the quality rights assessment tool (Table 2).
