Iranian university students' alcohol-related knowledge, attitude, and practice questionnaire (ISKAP alcohol Q): development and psychometric properties.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionGiven the strict prohibition of alcohol use in certain religions, such as Islam, and the criminalization of its production, distribution, and consumption in a country like Iran, it becomes essential to utilize a standardized and culturally appropriate instrument to study various dimensions of alcohol consumption within this context. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop the Iranian Students' Alcohol-Related Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire (ISKAP Alcohol Q) and evaluate its psychometric properties.
methodsThis study was conducted in three phases. After a comprehensive literature review, the item pool was developed. Content validity was determined based on the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). For face validity, 11 experts were asked to interpret the items. The clarity and readability of the instrument were checked by 15 students. Using stratified sampling proportional to the population size, 512 respondents from the universities of Kerman, southeast Iran, were recruited from May to September 2023 to participate in the validation process of this study. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability of the questionnaire was also checked by calculating Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability for each factor.
resultsThe final questionnaire, besides the demographic (7 items) and questions related to the first experience of alcohol consumption and cost (5 items), included 33 items, including three main constructs: knowledge, attitude, and practice. The constructs of knowledge and practice included one factor each, with seven and five items, respectively. The construct of attitude also included the three factors of positive attitude, social influences attitude, and individual acceptance attitude, which included 21 items (factor loading > 0.4). Cronbach's alpha was acceptable for five factors (ranging from 0.75 to 0.93). Composite reliability was ≥ 0.71 for all factors.
conclusionThe ISKAP Alcohol Q is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Iranian university students regarding alcohol consumption. It is currently accessible by contacting the authors of the article and can be utilized to assess alcohol consumption and its associated factors in future studies.
