“…Child asthma knowledge-Asthma knowledge for children in grades 1 to 2 was measured by a 15-item picture questionnaire developed using principles identified by Wiley and Hendricks (24) for picture identification research instruments. The 15 items in the questionnaire addressed the content present in the children's workshop.…”

Rural Children with Asthma: Impact of a Parent and Child Asthma Education Program

et al. 2005

The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an asthma educational intervention in improving asthma knowledge, self-efficacy, and quality of life in rural families. Children 6 to 12 years of age (62% male, 56% white, and 22% Medicaid) with persistent asthma (61%) were recruited from rural elementary schools and randomized into the control standard asthma education (CON) group or an interactive educational intervention (INT) group geared toward rural families. Parent/caregiver and child asthma knowledge, self-efficacy, and quality of life were assessed at baseline and at 10 months post enrollment. Despite high frequency of symptom reports, only 18% children reported an emergency department visit in the prior 6 months. Significant improvement in asthma knowledge was noted for INT parents and young INT children at follow-up (Parent: CON = 16.3; INT = 17.5, p < 0.001; Young children: CON = 10.8, INT = 12.45, p < 0.001). Child selfefficacy significantly increased in the INT group at follow-up; however, there was no significant difference in parent self-efficacy or parent and child quality of life at follow-up. Asthma symptom reports were significantly lower for the INT group at follow-up. For young rural children, an interactive asthma education intervention was associated with increased asthma knowledge and selfefficacy, decreased symptom reports, but not increased quality of life.

“…The 15 items in the questionnaire addressed the content present in the children's workshop. Each item had three choices based on evidence that the maximum number of choices that young children can discriminate (24). There was only one correct answer for each item, and total scores could vary from 0 to 15 points.…”

“…Lack of agreement may be attributed to a variety of factors including children's age. Some research reports that children become more reliable reporters as they get older (Borgers, de Leeuw, and Hox 2000;Skinner et al 2002;Vereecken et al 2012), indicating level of cognitive development is a critical factor in the assessment of food preference (Wiley and Hendricks 1998). As a result, it has been theorized that comparing reports from older children with parents' reports may yield more valid findings, but results of these studies are mixed.…”

This study examined the accuracy of parent-report child fruit/ vegetable (FV) liking. Child/parent dyads (n = 24) were recruited from six Head Start preschools in North Carolina. Liking for 10 FVs was assessed using a validated pictorial tool for children; a similar scale was used for parents. Negative relationships were observed between parent/child for one fruit (grapes) and one vegetable (broccoli). Positive relationships were observed among oranges, grapes, and overall fruit rankings. digitalcommons.unl.edu

“…None of the reviewed studies that used an interview tested the authenticity of the measures, nor did they provide any information regarding pilot-testing. This represents a key limitation of the techniques used to date, as pilot testing is crucial for identifying misunderstandings resulting from miscommunications between the participating child and the researcher, problems with response sets or graphics, potential barriers, or other testing issues [41]. Nonetheless, pilot testing may have been conducted and not reported in the study.…”

Background: Early childhood has been identified as a crucial period in which children develop physical activity preferences and behaviors. Both the knowledge of and preferences for physical activity are key proximal indicators of activity choices in children. Thus, accurate data collection tools are required to measure these variables. This review evaluates the data collection techniques that have been utilised to assess preschool children’s knowledge of and preference for physical activity, and examines the validity and reliability of existing techniques. Methods: A systematic search for relevant studies published from 1980 through to December 2017 was conducted via ProQuest, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, ERIC, PubMed, MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect. Results: Fourteen studies were eligible for inclusion in the review. The identified studies employed a limited but disparate range of techniques to assess children’s physical activity knowledge and preferences. Findings reveal that four techniques were consistently used across the reviewed studies, including: interviews, structured play-based activities, questionnaires, and observations. Only four out of 14 included studies reported the assessment of the validity of the data collection tool used, and six reported testing the measures for at least one type of reliability. Conclusion: There is a need for validated and reliable measures to assess children’s knowledge of and preference for physical activity. Greater consideration is required to align data collection techniques with the characteristics, needs and abilities of this study population.
