Birth Attitudies Survey

1. Is the degree of the internal consistency of items in each of the 15 sets(e.g. the maternal choices set) large enough? 2. What are the Cronbach's alpha values for each set of questions? 3. Is it good to include highly similar items? For example, "For a woman, having a naturally managed birth is a more empowering experience than delivering by cesarean section." and "Women who deliver their baby by cesarean section miss an important life experience."
