Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (GNKQ) Assessment

  The General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire was developed to measure general nutrition knowledge, with Turkish validity and reliability established. This questionnaire consists of 35 questions in four sub-components: nutrition recommendations (11 questions), nutrition knowledge (70 questions), food selection (11 questions), and diet-disease relationship (35 questions). Each correct answer within these sub-components is scored as '1,' while incorrect and unsure responses are scored as '0.' The total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 127, with higher scores indicating a greater level of nutrition knowledge. Permission was obtained from the authors

• Food and Nutrition Literacy Assessment Tool (FNLAT) Assessment

  The Food and Nutrition Literacy Assessment Tool was designed to measure food and nutrition literacy, with an internal validity index of ≥90% confirming its content validity. The tool includes six factors: one in the knowledge domain (nutrition knowledge) and five in the skills domain (functional skills, interactive skills, advocacy, critical information analysis, and food label reading skills). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable model fit indices, validating the construct of FNLAT. Cronbach's Alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values confirmed the internal consistency and stability over time. Scoring: FNLAT scores are calculated by summing raw scores for each subscale or the total, then converting them to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate greater food and nutrition literacy.
