This assessment examines the psychometric properties of the Health Behavior Inventory among Iranian women, suggesting its validity for health assessments.

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI-20) among Iranian women.
265 Iranian women completed the HBI-20 survey.
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses assessed construct validity.
Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach’s alpha.
Test–retest reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
Criterion validity was evaluated by comparing HBI-20 dimensions with the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II.
A four-factor model identified by exploratory factor analysis accounted for 52.33% of total variance.
Confirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor model with acceptable indices.
Cronbach’s alpha values indicate strong internal consistency, with an overall alpha of 0.902.
Test-retest reliability showed high ICC values, with overall consistency ranging from 0.703 to 0.853 for different dimensions.
Correlation with HPLP II dimensions confirmed criterion validity.
