Abstract
To analyze the efficacy and psychometric properties of the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Questionnaire when applied to adolescents. It was a cross-sectional construct validation study. Ten questions on the knowledge of HIV/AIDS were selected from the questionnaire for further data analysis and applied to 623 adolescents attending high school. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0™ and Stata 14.0 software processed the data. Cronbach's Alpha verified the reliability of items, and the mean of each value ranged from 0.198 to 0.379. Factor analysis assessed the structure of correlations between variables. The resulting factors were lifestyle/habits, preventive actions, and endogenous and exogenous transmission. The scale was reliable for the studied population, ensuring the quality of the instrument.
分析知识、态度和实践问卷在青少年中的有效性和心理测量特性。这是一项横断面结构验证研究。从问卷中选择了10个关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识的问题进行进一步的数据分析，并将其应用于623名上高中的青少年。社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）25.0™ Stata 14.0软件对数据进行了处理。Cronbach’s Alpha验证了项目的可靠性，每个值的平均值在0.198到0.379之间。因子分析评估了变量之间的相关性结构。由此产生的因素包括生活方式/习惯、预防措施以及内生和外源性传播。该量表对研究人群来说是可靠的，确保了仪器的质量。
