To date, no studies have validated the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (MASES) in an independent sample of hypertensive African Americans. The purpose of this study was to revise and assess the validity of the MASES. Study sample included 168 African Americans followed in primary care practices. Mean age was 54 (SD = 12.36); 86% was female; and 76% reported high school education or greater. Participants provided demographic information; completed the MASES, self-report and electronic measures of medication adherence for prescribed antihypertensive medications at baseline and three months. Confirmatory (CFA), exploratory (EFA) factor analyses, and classical test theory (CTT) analyses, suggested that MASES is a unidimensional and internally reliable measure with relatively stable scores over 3 months. Results of item response theory (IRT) analyses led to revision of the scale to a 13-item version: the MASES-R. EFA, CTT, and IRT results for the MASES-R supported its reliability and validity. Findings suggest that the MASES-R is a brief scale that is quick to administer and can capture useful data on adherence self-efficacy for African Americans. Research examining its psychometric properties in other ethnic groups will improve generalizability of findings and utility of the scale in diverse groups.
