Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To create a measure of food allergy (FA) knowledge for parents of children with FA.

METHODS

The food allergy knowledge test (FAKT) was developed following rigorous test-construction guidelines. The preliminary 110-item pool content was developed in consultation with FA experts. After cognitive interviews and revisions, an 88-item preliminary version was administered to 370 parents of children with FA who were recruited online and from an allergy clinic. After item difficulty, discrimination, item-scale correlations analyses, and assessment of internal consistency, a revised 57-item version was administered to a new clinic-based sample (77 parents).

RESULTS

The revised FAKT was highly reliable (α =.86). Validity analyses revealed positive correlations ( r = .23-.57) between FAKT scores and parent age, education, insurance status, access to FA information, and auto-injector use.

CONCLUSIONS

The FAKT was determined to have strong psychometrics and be appropriately reliable and valid, with clinical and research applications.

摘要

目的

为食物过敏（FA）儿童的家长创建一种食物过敏知识测量方法。

方法

食物过敏知识测试（FAKT）是按照严格的测试构建指南开发的。最初的110个项目库内容是在与食物过敏专家协商后制定的。经过认知访谈和修订，一个88项的初步版本被施测于370名通过网络招募以及从过敏诊所招募的食物过敏儿童的家长。在进行项目难度、区分度、项目与量表相关性分析以及内部一致性评估后，一个修订后的57项版本被施测于一个新的基于诊所的样本（77名家长）。
