Abstract
Introduction: In program evaluation, time, and energy of program leaders and participants are often at a premium, and survey fatigue is a methodological challenge. Finding ways to reduce survey fatigue and burden on participants while also working to include multiple sources of evidence to answer evaluation questions is a key task of evaluators. Materials and Methods: Rasch modeling was used to build scales from Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) milestone data. Results: Existing data for related constructs were repurposed to address evaluation questions with minimal threat to construct validity. Discussion: This work illustrates a novel way to reuse and recycle existing data to build scales by using a psychometrically-sound survey development and measurement approach. Conclusion: This work illustrates an innovative methodology to combat participant survey fatigue and include multiple sources of evidence to answer evaluation questions.
