To examine the validity and reliability of the 24-item Food Habits Questionnaire (FHQ) in a worksite setting.
In a longitudinal design, subjects in a 9-month worksite intervention program completed the FHQ pre- and postintervention. A randomly selected subsample also completed 2 sets of 4-day food records.
Three locations within a multisite industrial equipment company.
Subjects (N = 178) self-selected to participate in the program and completed the FHQ. Mean age was 40.7+/-10.6, 60% were male, and 82% were white, and there were 15 occupational categories. Thirty-two subjects completed 2 sets of 4-day food records.
To examine the validity and reliability of the FHQ total scale and subscales in a worksite setting with both men and women from varying socioeconomic levels.
Cronbach a coefficient to estimate internal consistency for the total scale and the subscales, Pearson correlation coefficients to estimate test-retest reliabilities and criterion validity.
For the 5 subscales, findings showed generally low internal consistency, moderate test-retest reliability, and low to moderate correlations with food record results. Psychometric properties for the total score of the FHQ included satisfactory internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity.
The FHQ subscales did not perform well and need to be more fully developed. Therefore, the FHQ may best be used as a total scale score to indicate fat-related behaviors.
在工作场所环境中检验24项食物习惯问卷（FHQ）的有效性和可靠性。
采用纵向设计，参加为期9个月工作场所干预项目的受试者在干预前后完成FHQ问卷。一个随机抽取的子样本还完成了两组为期4天的食物记录。
一家多场所工业设备公司内的三个地点。
受试者（N = 178）自行选择参加该项目并完成了FHQ问卷。平均年龄为40.7±10.6岁，60%为男性，82%为白人，共有15个职业类别。32名受试者完成了两组为期4天的食物记录。
在工作场所环境中，检验FHQ总量表和分量表对于不同社会经济水平的男性和女性的有效性和可靠性。
采用Cronbach α系数估计总量表和分量表的内部一致性，采用Pearson相关系数估计重测信度和效标效度。
对于5个分量表，结果显示总体内部一致性较低，重测信度中等，与食物记录结果的相关性低至中等。FHQ总分的心理测量学特性包括令人满意的内部一致性、重测信度和效标效度。
FHQ分量表表现不佳，需要进一步完善。因此，FHQ最好用作表示与脂肪相关行为的总量表得分。
