Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes towards ZIKV and its prevention among residents of Selangor, Malaysia. Methods: A pre-tested, selfadministered, cross-sectional survey involving 400 participants was conducted from January to February 2016 in Selangor, a most populated state of Malaysia. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling approach. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were applied to analyze the data. Results: Of 400 surveys included in the final analysis, 286 (71.5%) respondents showed good knowledge towards ZIKV. The mean knowledge score of the participants was 10.94 ± 3.89. A total of 298 (74.5%) respondents showed a positive attitude towards ZIKV and its prevention. The mean attitude score of the participants was 7.10 ± 2.80 (based on 10 questions). One-third of participants (n=132, 33%) did not consider the need of any protective measure if the male partner is suspected of having ZIKV. A large proportion of respondents (n=190, 47.5%) did not consider Malaysia at risk of ZIKV. Participants' main source of information about ZIKV was the internet. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlighted important gaps in the knowledge and attitudes of Selangor residents towards ZIKV and its prevention. There is a need for developing customized interventions to bridge these gaps as it is critical to prevent the spread of ZIKV in Malaysia.

“…The items are scored on a 5-point scale (i.e., 1: Very rarely to 5: Very often) within a time-frame of 12 months (e.g., back-translation protocols were adopted (Harkness, Pennell, & Schoua-Glusberg, 2004) and all six items were subjected to a preliminary English-Portuguese translation by the first author, and then back-translated from Portuguese-English by an independent experienced bilingual psychologist for comparison purposes. After comparing the translated and back-translated versions of the Portuguese BFAS, a final version of the instrument was achieved in the target language by matching both versions.…”

Previous research on Social Networking Sites (SNSs) addiction have suggest the need to improve assessment of this behavioral addiction. The present study aimed at validating a Portuguese version of the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS), a widely used instrument to assess addiction to Facebook. A study was conducted in a sample of 509 Portuguese adolescent using an online survey. The psychometric properties (construct validity, criterion validity, and reliability) of the Portuguese BFAS was scrutinized. The results from the psychometric analyses suggested that the new validated instrument had excellent psychometric properties. The CFA confirmed the original one-factor solution of the BFAS and criterion validity was warranted. The reliability of the BFAS was supported by satisfactory levels of internal consistency as measured by the Cronbach's alpha (α = .83), composite reliability (CR = .82), and factor determinacy (FD = .91). Overall, the results provided empirical support for the validity and reliability of the Portuguese BFAS. Moreover, the results were highly comparable with the findings of the original development study of the BFAS and cross-cultural support for the scale was obtained.

“…But, once achieved, the process ensures the quality of research findings as compared with more compromised adaptations (31,32). Since there is no consensus on the best practice to be employed for qualitative adaptation (17), we attempted a systematic approach to satisfy multiple equivalence needs of an adapted version of the child behaviour problem instruments and proposed a model of qualitative adaptation of psychometric instruments for developing countries (Figure 1).…”

“…FGDs (38), conducted by the field research team using cognitive interviews (39) with informants helped not only in determining informants' understanding and cultural relevance of items but also in getting their inputs to create appropriate instructions and culturally relevant items. Finally, the team of multidisciplinary translators, which was considered better than independent translators (32), discussed all items and instructions and reached a consensus, while acknowledging the inputs from the working group and FGDs and ensuring congruent cross-cultural translation (18,40).…”

Qualitative adaptation of child behaviour problem instruments in a developing-country setting

A key barrier to epidemiological research on child behaviour problems in developing countries is the lack of culturally relevant, internationally recognized psychometric instruments. This paper proposes a model for the qualitative adaptation of psychometric instruments in developing-country settings and presents a case study of the adaptation of 3 internationally recognized instruments in Pakistan: the Child Behavior Checklist, the Youth Self-Report and the Teacher's Report Form. This model encompassed a systematic procedure with 6 distinct phases to minimize bias and ensure equivalence with the original instruments: selection, deliberation, alteration, feasibility, testing and formal approval. The process was conducted in collaboration with the instruments' developer. A multidisciplinary working group of experts identified equivalence issues and suggested modifications. Focus group discussions with informants highlighted comprehension issues. Subsequently modified instruments were thoroughly tested. Finally, the instruments' developer approval further validated the qualitative adaptation. The study proposes a rigorous and systematic model to effectively achieve cultural adaptation of psychometric instruments. 1Department of Psychology, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan (Correspondence to B.
