Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to translate and test the content validity and reliability of an English questionnaire used in the American food and health survey.

Methods: The questionnaire was developed using 6 stages, then examined for test-retest. A total of 672 participants were recruited for validation and reliability. Validity test was performed using a correlation coefficient to measure the linear correlation between 2 questions at one given time. Moreover, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin, Measure of Sampling Adequacy, and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity were performed to statistically determine the suitability for conducting exploratory factor analysis. Furthermore, reliability tests using Cronbach α was used to estimate the reliability coefficient properties of the translated scale. Finally, the most important correlated questions was plotted using a color-coded correlogram.

Results: The test-retest reliability of all tested items was significantly correlated. The reliability test for all questions was 0.9. The cross-correlation test showed that all questions of the translated questionnaire were correlated significantly (P < .05) indicating reliability of the questionnaire.

Conclusion: The tested questionnaire is applicable and may be used in population-based studies to raise awareness regarding health, food consumption, nutrition, and food safety among people in Jordan and/or other Arab countries.

食品与健康问卷评估健康与营养知识的效度与信度。

目的:本研究旨在翻译并检验美国食品与健康调查中使用的英文问卷的内容效度和信度。方法:采用6个阶段编制问卷，并进行复测。为了验证和信度，共招募了672名参与者。效度检验采用相关系数来衡量两个问题在给定时间的线性相关性。此外，采用Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin、抽样充分性测量和Bartlett球性检验来统计确定进行探索性因素分析的适宜性。此外，采用Cronbach α信度检验估计翻译量表的信度系数性质。最后，用颜色编码的相关图绘制出最重要的相关问题。结果:各测项重测信度显著相关。所有问题的信度测试均为0.9。经互相关检验，翻译后的问卷各题项均显著相关(P < 0.05)，说明问卷具有信度。结论:经测试的调查表是适用的，可用于以人口为基础的研究，以提高约旦和/或其他阿拉伯国家人民对健康、食品消费、营养和食品安全的认识。
