Overview
Objective: To verify the reliability of the Czech version of the Family Eating and Activity Habits Questionnaire (SPZR).
Methods: A three-day and a three-week interval of test and re-rests were used to verify the stability of the SPZR questionnaire over time. The research sample consisted of 47 families with children aged 6–12 years.
Results: For individual family members (mother, father and child), the test-retest correlation coefficients for each scale and total score of the questionnaire ranged from 0.887 to 0.984 after 3 days and 0.781 to 0.980 after 3 weeks. The test-retest correlation coefficients of the total SPZR score for the whole family were after 3 days 0.982 and 0.980 after 3 weeks.
Conclusion: The questionnaire has a very good reliability.
