摘要：Social accountability (SA) is an obligation for medical schools in meeting the priority health concerns of the communities they serve. To measure the integration of SA principles into medical curricula, suitable tools are needed. This study developed and validated an inventory to assess SA values within the existing case scenarios used in problem-based learning (PBL) curricula. The Delphi technique was employed to develop and validate the new inventory. The validation used expert opinion and calculated the content validity using content validity indices (CVIs). The initial draft (Draft 0) was formulated with 25 open-ended questions. Following expert evaluation, Draft 1 had 22 closed-ended questions and the mean ratings, according to the experts, were as follows: relevance, 3.33–4.83; importance (3.5–4.8); clarity (3.33–4.83); and simplicity (3:00–4.67). Draft 2 had 19 questions. After a further round of rating and analysis, a final draft was prepared, consisting of 17 items, with CVI scores ≥ 0.8 and 100% overall satisfaction. Using this inventory tool will help health professions schools to translate SA indicators into curricular activities by identifying the gaps in their PBL curricula. Deficiencies can be either in the type of case scenarios used or the triggers embedded in the individual case scenarios, subsequently leading to the development of PBL case scenarios that address real health social needs. A revision and rewriting of the problem case scenarios to incorporate SA will be the next step.
