Abstract

Abstract: Background: There is a need to validate OHRQoL measures in Hindi to assess the OHRQoL of Indian children. Aim: To develop a Hindi version of the CPQ11–14 and to appraise its validity and reliability for use among North Indian children aged 11‐14 years. Design: The cross‐culturally adapted Hindi version of CPQ11‐14 was achieved by forward translation, backward translation, committee review, and pretesting. A total of 1000 children were recruited from schools, chosen by two‐stage cluster random sampling technique. After completing the self‐administered questionnaire CPQ11‐14 by the child, oral examination was conducted using decayed/missing/filled teeth (DMFT) index, malocclusion index, and Dean's fluorosis index. Test‐retest reliability was checked on 100 participants after one week. Results: The floor effect was present in 3.6% individuals, and there was no ceiling effect . Cronbach's alpha for the overall CPQ11‐14 scale was 0.963. Intra‐class correlation (ICC) coefficient was 0.952 for the entire scale. Cronbach's alpha value for test‐retest was 0.918. There was a non‐significant change in domain‐level and overall median CPQ11‐14 scores with an increase in DMFT scores. For malocclusion and fluorosis, there was a statistically significant increase in overall and domain‐level scores with increased severity scores. CPQ11‐14 and individual domains significantly correlated with both the global questions. Conclusion: Hindi version of CPQ11‐14 is a reliable scale to assess OHRQoL in Hindi speaking 11‐ to 14‐year‐old children.
