MATERIAL AND METHOD: Cross-sectional study. A Thai version of the YMRS was developed through forward-backward translation techniques and reviewed by five content-experts using psychometric methods to test the reliability and validity of the version.
RESULTS: An eleven-item questionnaire was developed The validity was established with the item coefficient > 0.6for all scales. The reliability of the YMRS Thai Version on a interrater test had a Pearson's correlation of 0.87 and a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for all scales of > 0.70. The scale's Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for the total number of items was 0.89.
