These instruments were originally developed for the following target populations general population n 4 dental students n 1 nursing students n 1 and rehabilitation professionals n 1 . The types of validity reported for these instruments were content validity n 3 criterion-related validity n 1 construct validity n 2 face validity n 1 discriminant validity n 1 and responsiveness n 1 . The most widely validated and used tool ATDP was developed in the late .
