To measure patient-provider trust, we developed the Health Care Relationship (HCR) Trust scale. Findings from our initial use of the scale suggested the need to examine the scale's psychometric performance in a larger sample of adults with various chronic health conditions. We therefore examined the psychometric properties of the HCR Trust Scale in a random sample of adult primary care patients. Thirteen of the original 15 items fit the data best; a single-factor structure explained 67% of the variance in patient-provider trust. The Cronbach's alpha for the 13-item HCR Trust Scale-Revised was .96.en-USinstrument developmentprimary caretrustHealth PsychologyHealth Services AdministrationHealth Services ResearchNursingPrimary CareJournal Articlehttps://escholarship.umassmed.edu/gsn_pp/7213157082gsn_pp/72
