The short food literacy questionnaire (SFLQ) was developed to measure a broad range of skills including functional, interactive, and critical elements of FL. This study evaluated SFLQ measurement properties. We used a workplace intervention trial to reduce salt intake in Switzerland to explore the underlying structure of the questionnaire with 350 respondents and identify the ideal number of SFLQ items to capture the different elements of FL. Exploratory factor analysis showed a unidimensional structure of the final 12-item questionnaire. A sum score based on all 12 items (Cronbach's α = 0.82) showed expected positive associations with health literacy and knowledge of recommended salt intake. The findings indicate the SFLQ is a feasible and reliable tool to assess FL among adults that can be helpful in public health practices focusing on FL.
短食品 literacy 问卷(SFLQ)旨在衡量包括食品 literacy 的功能、互动和批判性元素在内的广泛技能。本研究评估了 SFLQ 的测量特性。我们使用了一项工作场所干预试验来减少瑞士的盐摄入量,以探讨问卷的潜在结构,共有 350 名受访者,并确定了理想的 SFLQ 项目数量,以捕捉 FL 的不同元素。探索性因素分析显示,最终的 12 项问卷具有单一维度结构。基于所有 12 项的总和得分(Cronbach's α=0.82)与健康 literacy 和推荐盐摄入量知识呈预期正相关。研究结果表明,SFLQ 是一种在成人中评估 FL 的可行且可靠的工具,它在关注 FL 的公共卫生实践中可能会有所帮助。
