Development and validation of a questionnaire for assessing parents' health literacy regarding vision screening for children: a Delphi study.

ABSTRACT: Preschool vision screening is recommended to reduce the incidence of amblyopia that persists into adulthood. However, parent's perceptions regarding the importance of screening and early intervention may constitute a significant barrier to seeking vision exams and pursuing treatment. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a questionnaire for assessing parent's awareness, perception and health literacy of children's vision tests. The questionnaire was developed using the Delphi method with experts from the fields of pediatric ophthalmology, optometry, orthoptics, pediatric medicine, social sciences and Mother and Child Health Care centers. Experts were provided with drafts of the questions iteratively in three rounds until a consensus was reached independently on the relevant item
