BACKGROUND: Examining men's health beliefs regarding prostate cancer screening is a vital issue and requires a reliable and valid scale. PURPOSE: Modify Champion's Revised Health Belief Model Scale to measure Jordanian men's beliefs about PCS, translate to Arabic, culturally adapt, and test its psychometric prosperities. METHOD: This was a methodological study in which 432 healthy men were selected by convenient sampling. Analysis included estimation of content validity indices, internal consistency, construct validity, and predictive validity. RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis yielded seven significant factors which explained variance 68.9% of variance. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that scale fit the data significantly. Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from .83 to .92. CONCLUSION: Scale was found to be a valid and reliable for use with Jordanian men.
