A questionnaire measured HIV-prevention behaviors among Thai men who have sex with men

A validation study found acceptable internal consistency and support for its questionnaire structure, without testing whether the measure predicts HIV infection or improves prevention.

Cross-sectional questionnaire development and validation study.2023
30-second takeaway

The researchers developed a questionnaire intended to measure HIV-prevention behaviors in Thai men who have sex with men. Its items showed acceptable consistency, and its structure and correlations with other measures supported validity in the studied sample. These findings concern measurement quality; the study did not test an intervention or report effects on HIV transmission.

Keep in mind: Data were collected only once, so this abstract-based account cannot establish stability over time or responsiveness to behavioral change. Findings from this sample do not establish validity in younger people or other populations.
