Test-Retest Reliability Coefficients for Scored Scales from Lusaka and Dakar

Intraclass correlation coefficients assess the test-retest reliability of scored scales across two African cities. The dataset includes results for 132 participants in Lusaka and 125 in Dakar, both separately and combined. Sheela S. Sinharoy published this 5.5 KB Excel file under a CC-BY-4.0 license in 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare test-retest reliability of assessment scales between the cities of Lusaka and Dakar based on the reported ICCs.
• Evaluate the temporal stability of psychological or clinical instruments based on the test-retest assessment data.
• Inform the selection of reliable scales for longitudinal studies in similar contexts based on the reported correlation coefficients.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• Provides a specific sample size for each city (N=132 for Lusaka, N=125 for Dakar).
• File size is small (5.5 KB), ensuring quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The description is minimal, offering no details on the specific scales assessed or the time interval between tests.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the two specific cities studied.
