Usage

get_adequacy_score(csappa2 = NA, csappa4 = NA, csappa6 = NA)

Arguments

csappa2

A numeric (integer) vector representing a response to CSAPPA item 2 (valid values are integers between 1 and 4).

csappa4

A numeric (integer) vector representing a response to CSAPPA item 4 (valid values are integers between 1 and 4).

csappa6

A numeric (integer) vector representing a response to CSAPPA item 6 (valid values are integers between 1 and 4).
