Questionnaire reproducibility was quantified using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC; 95% confidence interval) computed by means of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha.<h4>Results</h4>The correlation coefficients were fair to good (ICC>0.4) for all statements (scale-items) regarding knowledge of and attitudes to antibiotic resistance, and ranged from fair to good to excellent for statements about situations in which pharmacists acknowledged that antibiotics were sometimes dispensed without a medical prescription (ICC>0.8). Cronbach's alpha for this section was 0.716.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The questionnaire designed in this study is valid and reliable in terms of content validity, face validity and reproducibility.Fátima RoqueSara SoaresLuiza BreitenfeldCristian Gonzalez-GonzalezAdolfo FigueirasMaria Teresa HerdeiroPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 9, Iss 3, p e90470 (2014)
