BERGERON, Dave A et al. Translation and Adaptation of Questionnaire on Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors related to Oral Health (QKAB-OH) Spanish Version. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.1, pp.20-28. ISSN 1019-4355.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.20453/reh.v28i1.3279.

Objectives: To carry out the translation, cross-cultural adaptation and internal coherence of the Questionnaire on Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors related to Oral Health (QKAB-OH) Spanish version. Material and methods: The translation, adaptation and preliminary validation process of QKAB-OH was carried out based on a synthesis of several guidelines related to the process of translation and adaptation of questionnaires. The internal consistency of the translated version of the questionnaire was evaluated using a non-probabilistic sam- ple of children aged 9 to 13 years old living in rural Andean districts or communities. Results: Seventy children were recruited for the study. Cronbach’s alpha of the QKAB-OH Spanish version (all sections included) was 0.73. Conclusions: This questionnaire adaptation appears to have a good face validity and a satisfactory internal consistency. It could therefore be used to evaluate behaviors, attitudes and knowledge related to oral health with Peruvian children (aged 9-13) living in high Andean rural area.
