Description
The study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Scale of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Sexual and Reproductive Health (ECAPSSR) in indigenous women in Mexico. A total of 177 women aged 14 to 48 participated, and signed and authorized their participation. Three dimensions were evaluated: knowledge, attitudes and practices. A final version of 78 questions of the original scale was obtained with acceptable reliability. Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggests an acceptable fit in three subscales. A valid, reliable and structured version was obtained as a screening option that allowed the evaluation of sexual and reproductive health in indigenous women. 2025 Society for Menstrual Cycle Research.
