Abstract

A set of questionnaires on smoking behaviour are required in order to conduct a full assessment of smoking issues in Malaysia. Therefore, this study was conducted to ensure that the Malay Version of The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale for Smoking Cessation (M-SOCRTAES-S) and Malay Version of Smoking Self-Efficacy (M-SSE) questionnaires can be used systematically in Malaysia. The permission to adapt these two questionnaires for the publishers was made and permission was obtained. This questionnaire has been translated into Malay using the direct translation method. Two experts were involved in the content validity process while eight lay adult smokers were involved in the face validity process while a total of 50 adult smokers were involved in the reliability assessment process. The results of the study found that the S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA values ​​for M-SOCRATES-S are 0.97 and 0.94 while the S-CVI/Ave values ​​and S-CVI/UA values ​​for M-SSE are 1.0 and 1.0. The S-FVI/Ave and S-FVI/UA values ​​for M-SOCRATES-S are 0.99 and 0.95 while the S-FVI/Ave and S-FVI/UA values ​​for M-SSE are 0.98 and 0.83. There are three domains in the M-SOCRATES-S questionnaire, namely the recognition domain, the ambivalent domain and the taking action domain, these three domains recorded Cronbach's alpha values ​​of 0.85, 0.80 and 0.89. While there are two domains in the M-SSE, namely internal and external, which recorded Cronbach's alpha values ​​of 0.81 and 0.77. The findings of this study show that the content validity, face validity, and reliability of these two questionnaires are acceptable and that they may be utilised among Malaysian adult smokers who can speak and write Malay.

Abstract

Introduction: Alcohol consumption poses a significant public health concern due to its association with non-communicable diseases, social harm, and mental health issues. In Malaysia, the highest prevalence of alcohol consumption was in Sabah (28.6%) and Sarawak (31.2%), especially among indigenous and rural populations. Aims: This study aimed to examine demographic patterns linked to alcohol risk categories and evaluate the implementation of harm reduction interventions based on the Ministry of Health Malaysia’s 2013 community guideline. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from AUDIT-10 screenings collected between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2024 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Demographic variables included age, gender, ethnicity, and citizenship. categorised. Risk levels categorized AUDIT-10 scores, and associations with demographic factors were examined using chi-square tests. Intervention implementation was assessed based on documentation aligned with national guidelines. Results: Of the 1,066 records analyzed, males were significantly overrepresented in higher-risk categories χ² (3, N = 1066) = 51.14, p < 0.001). Indigenous groups formed the majority across all risk levels. While most participants were Malaysian citizens, non-citizens were more common in the low- and very-high-risk groups. Age distribution showed minimal variation across categories. However, incomplete records on intervention delivery limited the assessment of compliance with national protocols. Conclusion: The study underscores elevated alcohol risk among males and indigenous populations. Gaps in intervention delivery highlight the need for enhanced training and culturally tailored strategies. Strengthening data quality and implementation fidelity is crucial to improving alcohol harm reduction at the community level.
