: The Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire (AIQ), English version, is the only validated screening measure developed specifically to identify insomnia symptoms in adolescents. To date, no specific screening tool for adolescent insomnia is present in Danish language. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the AIQ in a sample of Danish adolescents. : The AIQ underwent a process of forward-backward translation and pilot testing. Subsequently, data were collected at baseline and two-week follow-up from adolescents aged 11-19, who completed both the AIQ and an available adult measure of insomnia (the Athens Insomnia Scale, AIS). The internal consistency, test-retest reliability and convergent validity were assessed. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify the latent factors underlying the questionnaire. : At baseline 185 adolescents (18% males and 82% females, mean age 16.0 years) and 102 (55.1%) at two-week follow-up completed the questionnaires. The AIQ showed excellent internal consistency for the total score (Cronbach's a: 0.88) and good convergent validity with the AIS total score (Pearson's correlation value= 0.86, P<0.001). The test-retest reliability at two weeks was very satisfactory (ICC coefficient = 0.89; 95% CI 0.84, 0.92). Results from the exploratory factor analysis identified a three-model solution corresponding to the same three-model solution identified within the original development sample. : The Danish version of the AIQ demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency, test-retest reliability and validity, which supports its use as a screening tool for the identification of insomnia symptoms in adolescents, including Danish-speaking adolescents.
青少年失眠问卷（AIQ）英文版是专门为识别青少年失眠症状而开发的唯一经过验证的筛查工具。迄今为止，丹麦语中尚无针对青少年失眠的特定筛查工具。本研究的目的是在丹麦青少年样本中对AIQ进行翻译和验证。AIQ经历了前后翻译和预测试过程。随后，从11至19岁的青少年中收集了基线数据和两周随访数据，这些青少年同时完成了AIQ和现有的成人失眠测量工具（雅典失眠量表，AIS）。评估了内部一致性、重测信度和收敛效度。进行探索性因素分析以确定问卷背后的潜在因素。在基线时，185名青少年（18%为男性，82%为女性，平均年龄16.0岁）完成了问卷，在两周随访时，102名（55.1%）青少年完成了问卷。AIQ总分显示出出色的内部一致性（Cronbach's α：0.88），与AIS总分具有良好的收敛效度（Pearson相关值 = 0.86，P<0.001）。两周时的重测信度非常令人满意（ICC系数 = 0.89；95%CI 0.84，0.92）。探索性因素分析的结果确定了一个三模型解决方案，与原始开发样本中确定的三模型解决方案相同。AIQ丹麦语版在内部一致性、重测信度和效度方面表现出令人满意的心理测量特性，这支持将其用作识别青少年失眠症状的筛查工具，包括说丹麦语的青少年。
