Psychometric proprieties of the Child Health Questionnaire in an Arabic-speaking context: A multi-trait and multi-sample study



Article type: Published article

Abstract

Ongoing research on the assessment of children's health has led to the development of a large number of quantitative tools. The Child Health Questionnaire-Parent Form (CHQ-PF) is a set of questionnaires aimed at measuring different facets of children's health as perceived by their parents. The present multi-trait multi-sample study tested the validity and the reliability of the 50-item version of the CHQ with families ( N = 1095) living in contexts of low-intensity warfare. The validation procedures implemented (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, and reliability testing) yielded a new, shorter version of the questionnaire (CHQ-PF-25). We discuss the potential of using the CHQ-PF-25 in Arabic-speaking crisis contexts and the limitations of the present study.
