Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in children and requires an expensive and relatively unavailable sleep study for diagnosis. This study was undertaken to translate the previously validated OSA screening tool (POSAST) to the Thai language and assess its accuracy and test-retest reliability in at-risk symptomatic children. Study design: Prospective cross-sectional cohort study Methods: Pediatric patients clinically referred for suspected OSA who underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) were recruited, and caregivers completed the Thai version of the POSAST. The same questionnaire was completed again after 2-4 weeks. Results: One hundred and ten subjects completed the study. The mean age was 8.4±2.9 years. The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 10.9±11.9 events/hour. Test-retest reliability (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.96, P<0.001) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient = 0.82, P<0.001) between each question were excellent. A cumulative equation-derived score cut-off of 1.9 yielded 78.4% sensitivity and 50.0% specificity, while a numerical additive score cut-off of 8 corresponded to 81.1% sensitivity and 52.8% specificity for diagnosing moderate and severe OSA (AHI ≥5 events per hour) Conclusion: The internal consistency and reproducibility of the Thai version of the POSAST are satisfactory, display acceptable validity, and the instrument can be used for screening symptomatic Thai children for OSA.

The Exercise Dependence Scale-Revised (EDS-R) has been suggested as screening tool for exercise dependence (ED), however, a validated Chinese version of this instrument is currently lacking. To this end, the present study translated and evaluated the psychometric properties of a Chinese version of the scale. Following a forward-backward translation of the EDS-R, the Chinese version (EDS-C) as well as validated scales assessing associated constructs were administered to a large sample of habitual exercisers (N=1447, 52.4% male) in universities and communities. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed and invariance test across gender was carried out. Additionally, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were determined. Furthermore, construct validity was tested by investigating associations of ED with exercise variables and related constructs. We observed that the EDS-C confirmed the original seven-factor structure (TLI = .94, CFI = .95, RMSEA = .068, SRMR = .032) and showed invariance across genders. Moreover, we observed good internal consistency, with Cronbach alpha ranging from 0.73 to 0.93 for sub-scales and a moderate test-retest reliability (r: 0.45-0.82). The construct validity was additionally supported given that higher levels in EDS-C associated with a higher frequency of exercise and higher levels of eating disorder symptoms, body image inflexibility and generalized anxiety symptoms. In summary, EDS-C is a reliable and valid screening tool for ED in Chinese universities as well as communities.

A good level of nutrition literacy (NL) is proposed as a determinant factor for following a healthy diet. Improving seniors’ NL might be particularly pertinent to enhance the quality of their diets. This study aimed to systematically design and validate a short seniors-oriented questionnaire as a screening tool to evaluate NL. We developed the Myths-NL questionnaire, composed of 10 widespread nutrition myths, and checked for its content and face validity. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the validity and the test–retest reliability, involving a community-dwelling group of 316 individuals aged 65 years and over. Construct validity was proved by establishing both discriminant and convergent validity. Cronbach α = 0.61 and Spearman r = 0.79 (p = 0.02) demonstrated internal consistency and test–retest reliability. Participants who had secondary/university studies scored significantly higher compared with those with primary (p < 0.001), and a significant linear relationship (R2 = 0.044, p = 0.001) with a positive slope (β = 0.209) between Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) and Myths-NL scores was observed, proving construct validity. In conclusion, the Myths-NL questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to screen NL in Spanish seniors and it might be useful as an assessment NL tool for designing and implementing lifestyle interventions to promote healthy eating.

AbstractIn this brief report, we examined the test-retest reliability of our in-house explicit auditory processing measures in the context of 30 L1 and L2 English users. The participants took the same test battery which consisted of a total of four discrimination tasks (encoding acoustic details of formant, pitch, duration, and rise time) and two reproduction tasks (repeating novel melodic and rhythmic patterns) at Days 1 and 2. According to the results, the participants’ initial and second test scores demonstrated medium-to-large associations (r = .562-.907). The results suggest that the tests can tap into various dimensions of individuals’ auditory acuity and integration abilities.

Coordination Disorder

The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ’07) is an instrument for screening children between 5 and 15 years of age. Although it is popular, this instrument has not been adapted for use with Turkish children, and there is no valid similar screening tool in Turkey. Thus, this study aimed to provide a cross-cultural adaptation of the DCDQ’07 for Turkish children. We performed the translation process using well-established cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, and we recruited 736 parents (361 males, 375 females) of typically developing children with a mean ( M) age of 9.27 years (standard deviation = 2 years 5 months, range: 5.0–14.9 years). We determined the internal consistency of the questionnaire by item and total score correlations, Cronbach’s α and item-deleted Cronbach’s α. Intraclass correlation coefficients were used to determine test–retest reliability after an interval of 5 days. The Cronbach’s α of the Turkish DCDQ’07 was .890 for the total questionnaire. All the item-deleted Cronbach’s α values were lower than the total value of .890, except the bull in a China shop item (Cronbach’s α values .896). Test–retest reliability ranged from .99 to 1.00. The Turkish DCDQ is a valid and reliable screening tool for assessing the motor performance of children between 5 and 15 years of age.
