Abstract

Introduction: Food waste and food security are two concepts that are often linked together. This study was performed for the psychometric evaluation of a developed questionnaire for measuring food waste behaviour and food security at the household level. Five expert panels conducted content validation for the relevance, clarity, simplicity, ambiguity of each item. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative research approach was employed for the questionnaire testing in 10 villages in the Samarahan district of Sarawak state. A total of 168 households were interviewed using face-to-face interviews. Data entry and analysis was undertaken using Microsoft Excel version 2016 and the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, version 27.0), Result: respectively. Four items were improved, and one item was added to the English questionnaire after receiving feedback from the expert panel and respondents. Further refinement was also performed for the Malay version. Cronbach's alpha value varied from 0.713 to 0.961, indicating the reliability of the questionnaire. Conclusion: Overall, the respondents were able to comprehend most of the questions effectively. No problem was raised for the flow and sequence of the questions. Conclusively, the developed questionnaire is unambiguous in its reliability and validity. Nevertheless, further refinement is required before being used in future studies.

Abstract

Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) knowledge is crucial for informed decision-making, yet cultural barriers in Malaysia limit open discussions, creating significant knowledge gaps. This study validated the Malay version of the Adolescent SRH Knowledge and Attitudes Questionnaire to address this need. The validation process included expert content review (6 panelists), face validity testing (30 respondents), and psychometric analysis among 100 adolescents in Sarawak. The questionnaire demonstrated excellent content validity as rated by the experts and strong face validity among adolescents. The knowledge domain showed high internal consistency (α = 0.935), while the attitude domain had moderate reliability (α = 0.682), with refinements improving item alignment. The validated questionnaire provides a culturally adapted tool for assessing SRH among Malaysian adolescents, supporting targeted interventions. Future studies should expand validation to diverse populations and the assess longitudinal stability.
