ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study aimed to design a CRA questionnaire specifically for Korean children and adolescents based on the results of two Delphi survey completed by dental professionals. Methods: Based on the CAMBRA® CRA tool, updated in 2019, we constructed a questionnaire on the oral environment and behavior of children and adolescents. Then, the CVR and I-CVI were evaluated using the results of the first and second Delphi surveys involving 20 professionals. Results: After the first Delphi survey, six items were considered invalid because their CVR and I-CVI were below the recommended values of 0.42 and 0.78, respectively. After receiving feedback from the professional panels, nine items were removed. In the second Delphi survey, the questionnaire contained a total of 21 items, all of which showed good CVR and I-CVI. After modifications based on the opinions of professional panels, the questionnaire was finalized to have 21 questions. Conclusions: The finalized questionnaire with 21 items, based on the opinions of professional panels, showed excellent CVR and I-CVI for all the items. Structured programs with updated guidelines must be developed for Korean children and adolescents in further studies.
