| Popis: | Introduction Reliable and valid instruments to measure counseling effectiveness related to eating, activity, and inactivity are lacking. HeartSmartKids (HSK; HeartSmartKids, LLC, Boulder, Colorado) is a bilingual decision-support technology that can be used to assess and counsel families on cardiovascular risk factors in children. The purpose of this study was to establish preliminary test–retest reliability and convergent validity of HSK questions relative to a previously validated questionnaire, HABITS. Method Data were collected from children (ages 9-14 years) during an intervention study. A multitrait/multimethod correlation matrix framework was used to examine the test–retest reliability (n = 35) and convergent validity (n = 103) of HSK relative to HABITS. Results HSK had moderate/strong test–retest reliability and good convergent validity between HSK and HABITS. Discussion This study provides preliminary test–retest reliability and convergent validity of a useful clinical tool that can be used to quickly assess children's nutrition (e.g., fruit/vegetable consumption, snacks, sugar-sweetened beverages, breakfast) and activity habits to guide behavior change counseling. Additional work should be done validating HSK with objective measures. |
