Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to identify a valid and cultural-based questionnaire for drug use prevention programs for adolescents. Methods: The study used a three-round Delphi technique. A total of 21 participants with knowledge and experiences in community nursing (11 nurses) and education for junior high school students (11 teachers) in Aceh Province, Indonesia, were included. For the first round, focus group discussions were conducted. For the second round, participants were asked to indicate their levels of agreement and provide their comments on the proposed questionnaire. For the third round, participants were instructed to indicate their level of agreement with the final version of the developed questionnaire. The consensus was defined based on the percent agreement. Results: Initially, 64 questions for four domains (knowledge = 14 items, attitude = 29 items, intention = 9 items, behaviors = 12 items) were developed based on the FGDs and literature review. Finally, the four domains and 43 questions (knowledge = 14 items, attitude = 12 items, intention = 9 items, behaviours = 8 items) were supported by the group panels as the final instrument for the evaluation of drug use prevention programs for adolescents in schools. Conclusion: Expert panels validated the content of the questionnaire for the drug use prevention programs in Indonesia. Nonetheless, further analysis and implementation of the instrument are required to identify the accuracy of the instrument. © 2025 The Author(s).
