Cycle of Trust Scale*Responses (n)Mean (SD)Cronbach α
Planning scale: “How often does your network plan each activity?”6842.1 (6.2)0.70
Implementation scale: “How often does your network implement each activity?”6840.0 (6.2)0.75

  • * Response options: For each activity, respondents were asked (a) how often they plan for the activity (never, rarely, sometimes, usually, or always); (b) how often they implement the activity in their research studies (never, rarely, sometimes, usually, or always); and (c) to assess the capacity of their practice-based research network to perform each activity (very low, low, medium, high, or very high).

  • SD, standard deviation.
