A modified version of ATI was provided to the parent(s) of all the enrolled minor patients as part of their follow-up visit with their child. The test consisted of 20 items, translated to Korean by one English language specialist and three ophthalmologists. The score from each question contributed to a sub-scale of the adverse effect (question numbers 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 16), compliance (question numbers 1, 5, 6a, 10 and 12), and social stigma (question numbers 11, 14 and 18). The questionnaires were scored on a 5-point Likert scale system, and the parent-provided questionnaire used a strength of agreement scale with responses of "strongly agree" (5), "agree" (4), "neither agree nor disagree" (3), "disagree" (2), "strongly disagree" (1), and "not applicable." In the test, the majority of items were negative statements, and therefore, a higher score indicated a higher negative impact or a higher burden. Reverse scoring was applied to the few items that were positive statements.
