• Description:
  Background and purpose: The purpose of this study was to adapt and test the Self-Efficacy in Environmental Risk Reduction instrument in a Spanish-speaking population. Methods: Harkness' model of cross-cultural survey design was used to adapt the instrument. We sampled 95 adult, Spanish speakers from a federally qualified health clinic. Exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation was used to analyze the factor structure. Results: A 1-factor model provided the best fit to the data. The latent construct of the instrument is household environmental health self-efficacy. All items loaded higher than 0.610, indicating each item explains at least 36% variance in the latent construct. Cronbach's alpha indicates the scale has high internal consistency (a = .92). Conclusions: Respondents conceptualize self-efficacy in environmental risk reduction as practical solutions to minimize household risks. [Description provided by NIOSH]
