Development of the Health Education Impact Questionnaire - Korean version (heiQ-K)

The aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the health education impact questionnaire (heiQ-K). The participants consisted of 424 University students in Korea. The heiQ-K was developed through forward and backward translation, revision base on tele- conference and cognitive interview. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0. and AMOS 18.0. Internal consistency was good for 8 scales (Cronbach's alpha= .65 ~.84) and test-retest intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were high for all scales (ICCs=.73~.84). The heiQ-K was validated by confirmatory factor analysis (RMR=.03, GFI=.81). The translated and cultural adapted heiQ-K has good reliability and is valid. The heiQ-K will be able to measure comprehensive evaluation and impact of health education programs in Korea.
