Abstract INTRODUCTION: We aimed to validate the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) within a kidney stone disease (KSD ) population, determine the variability of patient activation within this population, and characterize relationships between activation and variables such as health literacy, quality of life, and demographics. METHODS: This cross-sectional study includes individuals 18 years or older followed for KSD at University of Montreal Hospital Center.
