dc.description.abstract | Food literacy is the ability to understand the nature of food and its level of importance, to obtain, process, analyze, and use information about food. This study aims to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Food Literacy Questionnaire for school children (FLQ-sc) into Turkish and to study its psychometric properties of reliability and validity. The study was conducted with 303 students aged 12-14 in Kayseri, Turkey. A pilot study was conducted with 36 students, and a test-retest was conducted with 219 students, 2 weeks after the first study was performed. Data were collected with the sociodemographic data form and FLQ-sc. Linguistic, content, face, and construct validity were evaluated for validity. Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated for the reliability evaluation. Model validity was tested with confirmatory factor analysis. Root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), ?2/SD, and goodness-of-fit index (GFI) statistics were in good agreement. Comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI), and standardized root mean square error of approximation (SRMR) statistics were at acceptable levels (RMSEA = 0.033, ?2/SD = 1.324, GFI = 0.958, CFI = 0.944, TLI = 0.939, SRMR = 0.063). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale score was quite good (0.795). The ICC for test-retest reliability was good (0.874) for the total scale score.Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Food Literacy Questionnaire for school children (FLQ-sc) is a valid and reliable measurement tool and can be used to evaluate food literacy levels in Turkish children aged 12-14. | |
