Area of Science:

  • Environmental health
  • Psychometrics
  • Cross-cultural adaptation

Background:

  • Environmental health risks pose significant challenges.
  • Self-efficacy is crucial for risk reduction behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and validate the Self-Efficacy in Environmental Risk Reduction instrument for a Spanish-speaking population.
  • To assess the psychometric properties of the adapted instrument.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-cultural adaptation using Harkness' model.
  • Sampling of 95 adult Spanish speakers from a federally qualified health clinic.
  • Exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation.

Main Results:

  • A 1-factor model demonstrated the best fit, identifying household environmental health self-efficacy as the latent construct.
  • All items exhibited high factor loadings (>0.610), explaining substantial variance.
  • The scale demonstrated high internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha of .92.

Conclusions:

  • Spanish-speaking respondents perceive self-efficacy in environmental risk reduction as actionable strategies to mitigate household hazards.
  • The adapted instrument is a reliable tool for measuring environmental health self-efficacy in this population.
