Participants (n=360) were either undergraduate students who have taken a nutrition course for 14 weeks (n=174) or those in another group who have not taken such a nutrition course (n=186). Testretest reliability, internal reliability, and construct validity of the questionnaire were determined. Overall internal reliability (Cronbach’s alpha=0.90) and test-retest reliability (0.90) were high. Significant differences (p<0.001) between the scores of the two groups of students indicated that the questionnaire had satisfactory construct validity. It was found that one-fifth of the students were unsure of the correct answer for any item, and 52.5% of them were not aware that DF had to be consumed on a daily basis. Only 36.4 to 44.2% of the students were able to correctly identify the food sources of DF.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jhpn.v31i4.20048">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jhpn.v31i4.20048</a></p> <p>J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2013 Dec; 31(4): 497-503</p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition}, author={Deniz, Melike S and Alsaffar, Ayten A}, year={2014}, month={Aug.}, pages={497–503} }
