The validity was assessed through correlation analysis, factor analysis and analysis of variance et al.


RESULTS
The Cronbach's alpha coefficient were more than 0.7 and retest coefficients were more than 0.8. The Pearson correlate coefficients of all the items to their dimensions were more than 0.61. Factor analysis conformed to logic relation, and the cumulative variance were 64.111%. The persons KAP on serum lipids was different in education and gender.


CONCLUSIONS
This questionnaire could be good reliability and validity. It might be so reliable, valid and sensitive that could be applied to assess persons' knowledge-attitude-practice on serum lipids.
