- Abstract
Objectives: To develop valid and reliable alternate forms to measure college students' attitudes toward health. Methods: Final scale, composed of 2 different but equivalent 15-item forms, was administered to 2 sets of college students. The mixed format of 30 items was administered to one sample of college students whereas a pre-post format was administered to another set of students. Results: Item analysis showed adequate internal consistency of each subscale for both forms. Equivalent form reliability coefficients were .91 and .88. Factor analyses confirmed the 3 underlying constructs of the scale. Conclusions: Statistical analyses demonstrated the comparability of the alternate forms.
