Title: Development of a reliable and valid tool for use in online surveys: Exploring how communication technology is used between Lead Maternity Carer midwives and pregnant people in Aotearoa New Zealand

Presentation: Online surveys are increasingly being used to gather data within healthcare. Validity and reliability of tool design is important in ensuring the instruments are measuring what they intend to measure. Two online survey tools were developed and then validated using an expert advisory group of seven midwifery academic researchers with experience in both quantitative and qualitative research designs. Karen will outline the process used to develop and validate the two online surveys.
