The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led most countries to take restrictive measures affecting social activities and individual freedoms to limit viral transmission. It was shown that practical, motivational and social barriers impact on adherence to the isolation and social distancing measures advocated by the health authorities. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a COVID-19 Knowledges and Behavior Questionnaire adapted to a teenager and adult French population.
CoVQuest-CC was developed by a multidisciplinary team made of infectious diseases physicians, medical virologist, specialists of infectious control, experts of the questionnaires methodology, experts in public health and prevention, and statisticians. CoVQuest-CC was responded to by a big cohort from the general population during their participation in a massive SARS-CoV-2 screening campaign in 2021 in Saint-Etienne, France.
The confirmatory factorial analysis yielded good results (CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.04), and confirmed the five-dimensional structure of the questionnaire. Each dimension had a satisfying internal consistency, with Cronbach alphas of 0.83, 0.71, 0.65, 0.72 and 0.83 for transmission knowledge, barrier gesture respect, tests acceptability, home isolation possibility and test practicability, respectively.
According to our knowledge, CoVQuest-CC is the first validated, consistent and reliable self-administrated French-specific questionnaire investigating the general population's knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19. It shows acceptable psychometric properties and can be use by Public Health teams or caregivers for public health and research purposes.
The study protocol was approved by the IRB ILE-DE-FRANCE 1 (No. IRB: I ORG0009918). All participants were given written and verbal information about the study and gave informed consent to participate.

SARS-CoV-2 大流行导致大多数国家采取限制措施，影响社会活动和个人自由，以限制病毒传播。事实表明，实际、动机和社会障碍影响到对卫生当局倡导的隔离和社会疏远措施的遵守。本研究的目的是开发和验证一种适用于青少年和成年法国人群的 COVID-19 知识和行为问卷。
CoVQuest-CC 由一个多学科团队开发，该团队由传染病医生、医学病毒学家、传染病控制专家、问卷方法专家、公共卫生和预防专家以及统计学家组成。CoVQuest-CC 是在 2021 年法国圣艾蒂安大规模 SARS-CoV-2 筛查活动期间，由来自普通人群的大样本量进行回答的。
验证性因子分析结果良好（CFI = 0.94，TLI = 0.94，RMSEA = 0.04），并证实了问卷的五维结构。每个维度都具有令人满意的内部一致性，其中传输知识、尊重障碍行为、测试可接受性、家庭隔离可能性和测试可行性的克朗巴赫阿尔法值分别为 0.83、0.71、0.65、0.72 和 0.83。
根据我们的知识，CoVQuest-CC 是第一个经过验证的、一致且可靠的、专门针对 COVID-19 的自我管理的法国特定问卷，调查了普通人群对 COVID-19 的知识和态度。它显示出可接受的心理测量特性，可由公共卫生团队或护理人员用于公共卫生和研究目的。
该研究方案得到了 ILE-DE-FRANCE 1 伦理委员会的批准（IRB：IRG0009918）。所有参与者都获得了关于研究的书面和口头信息，并同意参与。
