Abstract

Health and human rights as interlinked concepts are a promising new avenue in public health. The aim of this study was the development of a reliable and valid instrument for the measurement of the human right status. The reliability and validity of this new questionnaire for human rights (HRS = human right scale) was measured within a group of Public Health students (n = 42) and the participants of the KORA-fracture-study. Test-retest-reliability was 0.73 (ICC: 0.69) and Cronbach's alpha was 0.66-0.79. The evaluation of the validity with the help of a factor analysis and a reconstruction study pointed out, that the perceived human rights status has to be treated as an interlinked and not divisible concept. Both study groups showed deficits for items in the dimension justice and participation.
