Individuals\u2019 behavior modification is believed to be one of the best ways for CL prevention. However, no comprehensive questionnaires have been psychoanalyzed for identification of CL prevention behaviors and its numerous associated factors, as well as the impact of educational messages. Thus, the present study was conducted to develop and psychometrically assess CL prevention behaviors questionnaire in female students.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethods<\/jats:title>\nThe present study was performed from October 2020 to May 2021 by developing a preliminary questionnaire based on integration of Cultural Model and Extended Parallel Process Model. The questionnaire was completed online by 460 adolescent female students living in endemic areas of Isfahan, Iran. Exploratory factor analysis was performed using SPSS 24 to ensure the construct validity. Internal reliability was assessed via Cronbach\u2019s alpha and external reliability was determined using the test-retest method based on the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) index.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults<\/jats:title>\nThe first version of the questionnaire contains 110 items, out of which 82 remained according to content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) criteria. Afterwards, 11 items were removed due to low factor load in the construct validity process using the factor analysis technique. Ultimately, a 71-items questionnaire was developed and 12 factors were extracted from it. According to Cronbach\u2019s alpha index, the internal reliability for the questionnaire was 0.877 and the ICC index calculated the external reliability as 0.833.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusions<\/jats:title>\nIntegration of a Cultural Model with individual model was used for the first time to measure the factors related to CL prevention behaviors in this questionnaire; owing to the strength of the factor structure and appropriate psychometric properties, the questionnaire is applicable in the evaluation process of educational interventions concerning CL prevention, especially in female students.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0273400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]],"date-time":"2022-08-19T17:43:44Z","timestamp":1660931024000},"page":"e0273400","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Development and psychometric assessment of cutaneous leishmaniasis prevention behaviors questionnaire in adolescent female students: Application of integration of cultural model and extended parallel process model"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6682-1782","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Masoumeh","family":"Alidosti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hossein","family":"Shahnazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zahra","family":"Heidari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5683-9089","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fereshteh","family":"Zamani-Alavijeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"86","key":"pone.0273400.ref001","first-page":"1","article-title":"Spatial\u2013temporal pattern of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil","volume":"10","author":"TP Portella","year":"2021","journal-title":"Infectious Diseases of Poverty"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0273400.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"625","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-019-6969-9","article-title":"Arab world\u2019s growing contribution to global leishmaniasis research (1998\u20132017): a bibliometric study","volume":"19","author":"SW Al-Jabi","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Public Health"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0273400.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0007996","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0007996","article-title":"Patients\u2019 preferences of cutaneous leishmaniasis treatment outcomes: Findings from an international qualitative study","volume":"14","author":"AC Erber","year":"2020","journal-title":"PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0273400.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1186\/s40249-021-00842-3","article-title":"Cutaneous leishmaniasis control in Alta Verapaz (northern Guatemala): evaluating current efforts through stakeholders\u2019 experiences","volume":"10","author":"R Mendiz\u00e1bal-Cabrera","year":"2021","journal-title":"Infectious Diseases of Poverty"},{"issue":"7","key":"pone.0273400.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311x00158818","article-title":"Effect of educational intervention based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model on preventive behaviors of cutaneous leishmaniasis among housewives","volume":"35","author":"AK Jeihooni","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cad Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica"},{"issue":"5 May","key":"pone.0273400.ref006","first-page":"1","article-title":"A novel diagnostic and prognostic approach for unresponsive patients with anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis using artificial neural networks","volume":"16","author":"M Bamorovat","year":"2021","journal-title":"PLoS ONE"},{"issue":"12","key":"pone.0273400.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11516","DOI":"10.1007\/s11356-018-1340-8","article-title":"Climate and environmental factors affecting the incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Isfahan, Iran","volume":"25","author":"R Ramezankhani","year":"2018","journal-title":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research"},{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0273400.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.4103\/jrpp.JRPP_17_95","article-title":"Economic evaluation of using pesticides to control cutaneous leishmaniasis in Isfahan","volume":"7","author":"E Jafari","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Research in Pharmacy Practice"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0273400.ref009","first-page":"32","article-title":"Development and Psychometric of Assessment Tool of Students\u2019 Preventive Behaviors of Cutaneous Leishmaniosis Based on BASNEF Model","volume":"5","author":"M Ghodsi","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Neyshabur Univ Med Sci"},{"issue":"12","key":"pone.0273400.ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0189906","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0189906","article-title":"\u201cThe mosquitoes that destroy your face\u201d.
