Valued Outcomes in the Cancer Experience (VOICE)™: Development and validation of a multidimensional measure of perceived control.

Objective: Enhancing cancer patients' sense of control can positively impact psychological well-being. We developed and assessed the psychometric properties of Valued Outcomes in the Cancer Experience (VOICE), a measure of patients' perceived control over key personal priorities within their cancer experience.

Methods: VOICE construction and testing were completed in three phases with separate participant samples: (1) item generation and initial item pool testing ( = 459), (2) scale refinement ( = 623), and (3) confirmatory validation ( = 515).
