Reliability and validity of a questionnaire measuring knowledge, attitude and practice regarding "oil, salt and sugar" among canteen staff.

ABSTRACT: Excessive intake of oil, salt and sugar is closely associated with the prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). Canteen staff's knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) about oil, salt and sugar directly affect the content in dishes and the consumers' intake.

Therefore, the present study aimed to establish and validate a questionnaire to evaluate the KAP of canteen staff about the "oil, salt and sugar".

Internal and test-retest reliability were assessed using Cronbach's α and Pearson correlati
