Assessing the Reliability and Factor Structure of the Menorrhagia Assessment Tool: A First Step Toward Clinical Use

Menorrhagia is difficult to diagnose because the provider only has one tool - the clinical interview. In this study, we sought to determine whether the Menorrhagia Assessment Tool (MAT), a questionnaire composed of symptom-specific items consistent with the condition, could be used to facilitate this process. Specifically, we sought to determine the factor structure (for scoring) and reliability.
