Adapting and validating the FOODLIT-Tool in Turkish: a psychometric study on food literacy for sustainability.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to adapt and validate the FOODLIT-Tool in Turkish to assess sustainable food literacy among Turkish adults. The adaptation addresses a lack of psychometrically validated instruments for measuring food literacy and sustainability-oriented eating behaviours in Turkey.
designA psychometric evaluation was conducted, including forward-translation, back-translation and cultural adaptation steps, followed by expert review for content validation. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency was evaluated to ensure reliability.
settingData collection was conducted online via Google Forms between July and August 2024.
participantsA total of 482 participants aged 18 to 65 years residing in Turkey voluntarily completed the Turkish version of the FOODLIT-Tool, along with a general information form and the Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behavior Scale.
resultsCFA results demonstrated an acceptable model fit (
conclusionsThe adapted Turkish version of the FOODLIT-Tool demonstrates satisfactory validity and reliability for evaluating food literacy and sustainable dietary practices among Turkish adults. The scale serves as a useful assessment tool for future research and intervention studies focusing on sustainable nutrition. Further validation using representative samples and longitudinal designs is warranted before its application in public health or policy-making contexts.
