“…In our study, the NL-SF12 maintained the initial scale's conceptual framework of six dimensions. Its' structural validation was assessed using CFA, which has been widely used to evaluate the structural validity of a scale (40,54,55). The CVI of >0.9 indicated that the NL content was consistent.…”

ObjectivesTo develop and validate a short-form nutrition literacy (NL) assessment tool for Chinese college students based on a 43-item NL measurement scale.MethodsTo develop and validate short-form NL scale, 1359 college students were surveyed, the data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, linear regression analysis, Item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and Pearson correlation.ResultsThe 12-item short-form NL scale (NL-SF12) was developed using factor analysis and regression analysis, which accounted for 96.4% of the variance. The correlation coefficient between the NL-SF12 and NL-43 was 0.969, indicating satisfactory criterion-related validity. The NL-SF12 had a Cronbach's α of 0.890, suggesting strong internal consistency reliability, and content validity index was greater than 0.9, indicating that each domain accurately reflects the connotation of nutrition literacy. The model–data fit and convergent validity of the confirmatory factor analysis results were both good.ConclusionThe NL-SF12 is an effective measurement tool with a good reliability and acceptable validity to assess comprehensively NL for college students, and is applicable to quick, widespread use in population study and practice with low respondent burden.

Background: Meningococcal disease and outbreaks are a risk during mass gatherings such as the Umrah religious pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We aimed to investigate the carriage of Neisseria meningitidis among the 2019 Umrah pilgrims and determine the circulating serogroups and their antibiotic susceptibility profiles. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among adult Umrah pilgrims from 17th to 29th April 2019 in Mecca city, KSA. A questionnaire was administered to each participant, and an oropharyngeal swab was obtained. Microbiological techniques were used to isolate, identify and serogroup N. meningitidis from the swabs. E-tests were used to determine the susceptibility of the isolates to nine antibiotics. Results:The study enrolled 616 pilgrims from 17 countries with a mean age of 53.8 years (±13.1, range = 19-91) and a male-to-female ratio of 1.1:1. Nearly 39% of the respondents had no formal education, 32.5% declared having an underlying health condition and 17.2% were current or past smokers. During their Umrah stay, most pilgrims reported sharing accommodation (98.5%) and never using a face mask (98.5%). Also, 34.6% reported suffering from influenza-like symptoms and 11.8% used antibiotics. N. meningitidis was isolated from three pilgrims (carriage rate of 0.49%), two were serogroup A and one was serogroup B. Antibiotic susceptibility results were available for one isolate (serogroup B) which showed resistance to ciprofloxacin and decreased susceptibility to trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole. Conclusion: Carriage of N. meningitidis among Umrah pilgrims was low. However, invasive serogroups were identified, including an isolate resistant to ciprofloxacin used for chemoprophylaxis. Meningococcal disease preventive measures for Umrah should be regularly reviewed and updated accordingly to reduce the risk of the disease and future pilgrimage-associated outbreaks.

“…While the EFA is used to establish the most appropriate factor structure of the questionnaire based on the pattern-linearity of the factor loadings, the application of CFA is worthwhile to complement the construct validity by confirming the factorial structure and their respective items identified in the EFA [ 41 – 44 ]. In the current study, the four-factor structure was established by CFA, indicating the satisfactory fitting of the suggested models.…”

Background Studies on knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) can be valuable for public health to help to develop targeted educational programs and assess the effectiveness of intervention programs. The purpose of this study was to develop and examine the validity and reliability of a questionnaire on knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), their risk factors, and symptoms among an Iranian general population. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on an Iranian population older than 20 years referred to some of Tehran’s healthcare centers. An initial 62-item questionnaire was developed, and the face, content, and construct validities were assessed. Results In all, 300 adults with a mean age (SD) of 39.79 (12.1) years participated in this study. Based on the results of the content validity, a questionnaire with 30 essential items was designed. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a four-factor subscale with 29 finalized items (CVD-KAP29), and acceptable goodness of fit indices was demonstrated by confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s ω coefficients were higher than 0.60 for all domains except the nutrition and smoking subscales. Conclusions Results provided evidence of the validity of the CVD-KAP29 for KAP studies for cardiovascular diseases in the general population.
