This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Health Protection Behavior Scale (HPBS). The study was conducted using a two-stage cross-cultural research design in accordance with STROBE guidelines. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis (EFA), without performing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to avoid the use of the same dataset for model derivation and validation. The overall Cronbach's alpha for the scale was 0.851, indicating high internal consistency. In terms of construct validity, the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II and the WHOQOL-BREF showed strong and moderate positive correlations, respectively (p < 0.05). The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the HPBS are generally good and acceptable.
