本研究的目的是评估一个新设计的工具，青少年健康促进量表（AHP），40项Likert型自我报告工具，用于检测青少年的不健康生活方式的心理测量学特性。根据先前研究的结果和14名内容专家小组的观察结果，认为内容有效性得到了支持。本研究考察了该量表的结构效度和信度。本研究以1，128名台湾青少年为研究对象，探讨层次分析法的心理测量学特性，包括项目分析、因子分析与信度测量。Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin（KMO）测量和Bartlett球度检验表明样本符合因子分析的标准。因子分析得到一个六因素工具，解释了40个项目的方差的51.14%。六个因子分别为社会支持、生活欣赏、健康责任、营养行为、运动行为、压力管理。总量表的Cronbach α信度系数为0.932，子量表的α系数范围为0.75至0.88。本研究结果显示，层次分析法在台湾地区具有良好的结构效度与信度，学校保健人员使用层次分析法评估青少年健康促进计划是有必要的。
The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of a newly devised instrument, the Adolescent Health Promotion scale (AHP), a 40-item Likert-type self-report instrument used to detect unhealthy lifestyles in adolescents. Content validity was considered to be supported based on the findings of previous studies and the observations of a panel of 14 content experts. This study examined the construct validity and reliability of the instrument. The psychometric properties of the AHP, including item analysis, factor analysis, and reliability measures, were assessed based on the responses of 1,128 Taiwanese adolescents. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measures and Bartlett's sphericity test showed that the samples met the criteria for factor analysis. Factor analysis yielded a six-factor instrument that explained 51.14% of the variance in the 40 items. The six factors were social support, life appreciation, health responsibility, nutritional behaviors, exercise behaviors, and stress management. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient for the total scale was 0.932, and alpha coefficients for the subscales ranged from 0.75 to 0.88. The results of this study indicate that the AHP has good construct validity and reliability in Taiwanese and that its use by school health nurses to assess adolescent health promotion programs is warranted.
