Objectives:
to validate the content of an instrument for assessing leprosy care in individuals under 15 years old in the context of Primary Health Care.
Methods:
methodological study of content validation, based on the evaluation of essential and derived attributes in primary care, in the professional version. For data analysis, the Content Validation Index (CVI ≥ 0.8) and Cronbach's Alpha were calculated.
Results:
a higher percentage of judges among nurses (61.5%) was observed; with a doctorate (46.2%), and engaged in teaching and research (77%). The overall Content Validation Index of the instrument was 0.98. In the analysis of Cronbach's Alpha of the instrument, the assigned value was 0.717.
Conclusions:
the instrument represents an advancement in the measurement of health evaluation policies and can significantly contribute to improving the quality of care provided to children and adolescents with leprosy.
