To adapt and test an existing questionnaire to assess Australian children's level of nutrition knowledge.
The child nutrition knowledge questionnaire for Australian children consists of 8 nutrition-related categories: healthy choices, portion and serving sizes, balanced meals, nutrition labels, nutrient functions, and food sources, safety, and categories. Participants completed the questionnaire at 2 time points, with 1 week in between.
The questionnaire was completed online in a primary school classroom using an Android tablet.
Fifth- and sixth-year students (n = 94; aged 10.9 years; SD, 0.76) at a primary school in New South Wales, Australia.
Item difficulty, item discrimination, and reliability.
Item analysis, interrater reliability, and test-retests.
The intrarater reliability per item between the first visit and 1 week later was moderate to substantial for the majority of items (mean κ = 0.50; SD, 0.21). Test-retest found a significant correlation for total score (r = 0.756), with all categories except portion and serving sizes showing significant correlations above r = 0.502.
The child nutrition knowledge questionnaire for Australian children has the potential to be a reliable and practical questionnaire for measuring Australian children's nutrition knowledge. The questionnaire may be useful for future work evaluating the effectiveness of nutrition education interventions and would potentially be adapted to other cultures.
改编并测试一个现有的问卷，以评估澳大利亚儿童的营养知识水平。
澳大利亚儿童营养知识问卷由 8 个与营养相关的类别组成：健康选择、份量和份量大小、均衡饮食、营养标签、营养功能和食物来源、安全和类别。参与者在两周的时间内分两次完成问卷。
在澳大利亚新南威尔士州的一所小学的教室里，使用 Android 平板电脑在线完成问卷。
一所小学的五年级和六年级学生（n=94；年龄 10.9 岁；标准差，0.76）。
项目难度、项目区分度和可靠性。
项目分析、内部信度和重测。
大多数项目的首次访问和 1 周后，项目内信度为中度到高度（平均 κ=0.50；标准差，0.21）。重测发现总分存在显著相关性（r=0.756），除了份量和份量大小外，所有类别均显示出显著相关性，r 值大于 0.502。
澳大利亚儿童营养知识问卷具有成为一种可靠且实用的测量澳大利亚儿童营养知识的问卷的潜力。该问卷可能对未来评估营养教育干预措施的有效性的工作有用，并可能适用于其他文化。
