We investigated the validity of the child-feeding questionnaire (CFQ) among parents of adolescents. The original CFQ was developed to assess perceptions of obesity-proneness and child-feeding practices among parents of 2- to 11-year-old children. We modified the CFQ to make it applicable to parents of adolescents and added one item on monitoring sugared beverages. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using the latent variable approach. Factor scores were related to adolescent body mass index percentiles (BMI%) using structural equation modeling. The modified CFQ was completed by 260 parent/guardians (mean age 39.8 years; 92% female; 55% Black, 35% White, 10% Other). The original published measurement model was fit to our sample and yielded an acceptable fit (CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.05). Adding the extra variables decreased the fit; however, minor modifications improved the fit without changing the factor structure (CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.05). Cronbach's alphas for the subscales ranged from 0.60 to 0.88. The factors, parental perceptions of child weight, concern for child weight, monitoring and restriction were positively associated, and pressure to eat was inversely associated with adolescent BMI%. In conclusion, the psychometric properties of the modified CFQ tested among parents of a multi-ethnic adolescent sample were similar to those of the original CFQ.
我们调查了青少年喂养问卷（CFQ）在青少年父母中的有效性。最初的CFQ是为评估2至11岁儿童父母对肥胖易感性的认知以及儿童喂养行为而制定的。我们对CFQ进行了修改，使其适用于青少年父母，并增加了一项关于监测含糖饮料的项目。使用潜在变量方法进行了验证性因素分析。通过结构方程模型将因素得分与青少年体重指数百分位数（BMI%）相关联。260名家长/监护人（平均年龄39.8岁；92%为女性；55%为黑人，35%为白人，10%为其他种族）完成了修改后的CFQ。最初发表的测量模型与我们的样本拟合良好，得出了可接受的拟合度（CFI = 0.95，TLI = 0.93，RMSEA = 0.05）。添加额外变量降低了拟合度；然而，进行一些小的修改后，在不改变因素结构的情况下提高了拟合度（CFI = 0.95，TLI = 0.94，RMSEA = 0.05）。各分量表的克朗巴哈系数在0.60至0.88之间。父母对孩子体重的认知、对孩子体重的关注、监测和限制等因素呈正相关，而强迫进食与青少年BMI%呈负相关。总之，在一个多民族青少年样本的父母中测试的修改后CFQ的心理测量特性与原始CFQ相似。
