SUMMARY:

This study involves a collection of psychometric testing, including cognitive interviews conducted virtually (via Microsoft Teams or Zoom) or in-person at partner institutions (Texas A&M, UC Merced, Rutgers, Oklahoma State University). The goal is to establish face validity and semantic equivalence for EFNEP-eligible Spanish-speaking adults in Texas, Oklahoma, California, and New Jersey. Using a “think-aloud” and verbal probing method, interviewers will explore participants’ understanding of key terms and response options in the Food and Physical Activity Behavior Questionnaire (FPABQ).
