“…4 On the other hand, a study in Turkey with 1,351 male and female adolescents between the ages of 11 and 19 demonstrated that there were statistically significant differences in terms of gender and age concerning the frequency of healthpromoting behaviors. Adolescent girls presented higher scale mean scores of health-promoting behaviors than boys.…”

Aiming to evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument to assess the levels of health promoting behaviors, as well as to encounter those same levels related to their age, sex and graduation in a sample of 1213 Portuguese adolescents, the study was conducted of a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, retrospective and cross-sectional. The instrument has good internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha de 0,889) and reasonable correlations between items (entre -0,009 e 0,788), confirming the six factors defined by the authors of the scale. Levels of health-promoting behaviors in the sample are good (x=3,70), being higher in girls than boys, and youth to the detriment of younger older. Thus demonstrates the reliability of the instrument in the assessment of healthy behavior in portuguese adolescents, as well as the need for an health intervention in this population.DESCRIPTORS: Health promotion. Adolescent behavior. Validation studies. COMPORTAMENTOS PROMOTORES DE SAÚDE: PROPRIEDADES PSICOMÉTRICAS DE UM INSTRUMENTO DE AVALIAÇÃO RESUMO:Com o objetivo de avaliar as propriedades psicométricas de um instrumento de avaliação dos níveis de comportamentos promotores de saúde, bem como de conhecer esses mesmos níveis numa amostra de 1213 adolescentes portugueses, em relação à sua idade, sexo e ano de escolaridade, foi realizado este estudo, de caráter quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional, retrospetivo e transversal. O instrumento apresenta bons valores de consistência interna (Cronbach's Alpha de 0,889) e razoáveis correlações entre itens (entre -0,009 e 0,788), confirmando-se os seis fatores definidos pelos autores da escala. Os níveis de comportamentos promotores de saúde na amostra são bons (x=3,70), sendo mais elevados nas raparigas do que nos rapazes, e nos jovens mais novos em detrimento dos mais velhos. Demonstra-se assim a fiabilidade do instrumento na avaliação dos comportamentos promotores de saúde nos adolescentes portugueses, e a necessidade de uma intervenção em saúde, nesta população.

Background and Aim Assessing health promotion among adolescents is vital to identify healthy and unhealthy behaviors and to evaluate health promotion interventions. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Short‐Form Adolescent Health Promotion scale. Methods Three hundred and twenty‐seven adolescents were recruited through a multistage sampling method in this methodological study. The original version of the Adolescent Health Promotion scale was translated from English to Persian using the Backward–Forward translation protocol. Then, the scale's validity and reliability, including the face, content, construct validity, and reliability indices, were evaluated. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 24. Results The mean CVI and CVR were 0.99. The exploratory factor analysis revealed four factors covering 42.57% of the total variance. The factor loading order of the items did not exactly correspond to the order obtained in the English version of the scale's validity and reliability analysis. The obtained factors called included: life appreciation, stress management, nutrition, and health responsibility. In the current study, both Cronbach's ɑ and the intraclass correlation coefficient were calculated at 0.84 and 0.99. Conclusion The Persian version of the Adolescent Health Promotion scale developed in the present study is acceptable for the validity of the content, face, and reliability. However, the construct validity of this scale should be checked in other samples.
