“…Having a meal with the family is important for parents and children, because at this moment preferences and eating and nutrition habits are built, given that parents are providers, applicators and role models, particularly during early childhood, food consumption and other periods of life 21 . Meals eaten in the family are associated with a healthier diet and lower body mass index in children and adolescents 22 .…”

Objective to construct and validate a questionnaire to assess parents’ knowledge about infant complementary feeding. Method this is a methodological study developed from March 2017 to May 2020 with a sample of experts (6) and parents/guardians of infants (374). It was based on the psychometric framework in which construction, content validity (content validity index), construct validity (factor analysis) and internal and structural consistency analysis (Cronbach’s alpha) and reproducibility (intraclass correlation index) were carried out. Results the questionnaire obtained three versions until reaching its final version with 23 items distributed in two axes: introduction of complementary feeding; preparation and way of eating, reaching an overall CVI of 0.83 in the judges’ analysis. Exploratory factor analysis proved to be adequate (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkim of 0.70 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity with p<0.001). The final Cronbach’s alpha of the 23-item scale was 0.79, demonstrating adequate internal consistency. The intraclass correlation index was 0.615, demonstrating good instrument reproducibility. Conclusion the questionnaire showed evidence of validity to assess parents’ knowledge about infant complementary feeding.

“…Monitoring preventive behaviours, as well as diagnosing the state of knowledge, seems to be an important element of assessing the effectiveness of current measures within health policies, including reproductive health [24,29,30]. It is important for women to be aware of folic acid supplementation in order to start consuming folic acid [31].…”

Adequate folic acid supplementation during the preconception period is an important element in the primary prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs). This study aims to study the effectiveness of folic acid supplementation recommendations among women of childbearing age, and to assess and characterise their awareness about this public health measure. The cross-sectional study included women (N = 1285) aged 22.27 ± 4.6 years old on average. Some of the results were obtained on a subgroup of women (N = 1127) aged 21.0 ± 2.1. This study was performed using a questionnaire. The analysis was performed with the use of a logistic regression model, chi-square test for independence and odds ratio (OR). According to the results, only 13.9% of women supplement folic acid, and 65.3% of them do so daily. A total of 91.1% of the respondents were not aware of its recommended dose and 43% did not know the role it plays in the human body. Among women who do not currently supplement folic acid (N = 1052), 52.4% declared doing so while planning their pregnancy. Women’s awareness about the role of folic acid in NTD prevention (OR = 4.58) and the information they got from physicians (OR = 1.68) are key factors that increased the odds of the women taking folic acid before pregnancy. There is therefore a need for more information and education campaigns to raise awareness about folic acid.

RESUMO Objetivo construir e validar um questionário para avaliar o conhecimento dos pais sobre alimentação complementar do lactente. Método estudo metodológico desenvolvido de março de 2017 a maio de 2020 com uma amostra de especialistas (6) e de pais/cuidadores de lactentes (374) baseado no referencial psicométrico em que se procederam a construção, a validação de conteúdo (índice de validação de conteúdo), a validação de construto (análise fatorial) e análise da consistência interna e estrutural (Alfa de Cronbach) e reprodutibilidade (índice de correlação intraclasse). Resultados o questionário obteve três versões até alcançar sua versão final com 23 itens distribuídos em dois eixos: introdução da alimentação complementar e preparo e forma de alimentar alcançando IVC global de 0,83 na análise dos juízes. A análise fatorial exploratória mostrou-se adequada (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkim de 0,70 e a esfericidade de Bartlett com p<0,001). O Alfa de Cronbach final da escala com 23 itens foi de 0,79, demonstrando consistência interna adequada. O índice de correlação intraclasse foi de 0,615 demonstrando boa reprodutibilidade do instrumento. Conclusão o questionário demostrou evidências de validade para avaliar o conhecimento dos pais de lactentes sobre alimentação complementar.
