    Introduction: Digital health literacy (DHL), also known as eHealth literacy, refers to an individual’s ability to locate, understand, evaluate, and apply health information from electronic sources to make informed health decisions. This skill is increasingly regarded as essential for navigating the modern healthcare landscape, promoting health equity, and improving health outcomes. The study objective was to establish an association between DHL and dermatologic outpatients’ attitudes regarding ethical aspects of digital health. Additionally, we validated a questionnaire designed to assess these bioethical attitudes. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in two phases (April 2024-December 2024). Phase-1 consisted of validating the Bioethical Attitudes toward Digital Health questionnaire (BADH). Phase-2 evaluated the association between the eHEALS (it assesses a person’s ability to use digital health resources) and BADH scores. Three convenience samples of consecutive patients were used: S-1 included 46 patients who participated in a pilot testing, S-2 included 100 patients who participated in the BADH validation and S-3 included 120 patients and was used to investigate the association between DHL and bioethical attitudes. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Results: The 8-item BADH was found to be feasible, valid, and reliable. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure, consisting of trust and privacy dimensions, which accounted for 59.8% of the total variance. This structure was subsequently validated through confirmatory factor analysis. The BADH reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.686 and ICC of 0.684 (95% CI: 0.581–0.770). A positive linear association was identified between the eHEALS and the BADH scores (β = 0.465, 95%CI: 0.218–0.450, p < 0.001). This relationship was evident with the trust dimension of the BADH (β = 0.526, 95%CI: 0.206–0.379, p < 0.001), but not with the privacy dimension. Conclusions: DHL is associated with individual moral positions regarding digital health, particularly those concerning trust. The BADH questionnaire has adequate psychometric properties. ©The authors ©Public Library of Science (PLoS) ©PLOS one.

    Background: Social Capital on health has been studied widely, to date there is no valid and reliable questionnaire that measure it in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Objective: To develop, validate and assess the reliability of Social Capital related to CKD questionnaire for Mexican adolescents. Methods: An instrumental study was employed to validate a questionnaire that assesses the cognitive and structural domains of Social Capital related to CKD. The questionnaire was generated by operationalization of the constructs and validated by assessing the content, face validity, criteria and construct validity. Reliability was assessed through the Cronbach´s alpha. Results: The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through Kendall’s W of 0.925 (p = 0.01) and its face validity was evaluated by four focus groups. A principal component analysis on a sample of 281 adolescents indicated that 72.78% of the variance was explained by the cognitive domain and 83.20% by the structural domain. A confirmatory analysis returned a chi-squared value of 142.99 (p = 0.05), a CFI of 0.97, a TLI of 0.96, a RMSEA of 0.040 and a SRMR of 0.07 for the cognitive domain. Similarly, a chi-squared of 408.296 (p < 0.001), a CFI of 0.98, a TLI of 0.97, a RMSEA 0.03 and a SRMR of 0.06 were returned for the structural domain. The validity of the criteria was assessed through a Pearson’s correlation for both the cognitive and structural domains. There was a mild-to-strongly significant correlation (p ≤ 0.001) among items and dimensions within each domain, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.23 to 0.83. As a determinant of the reliability of the questionnaire, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.84 and 0.94 for the cognitive and structural domain, respectively. Conclusions: A valid and reliable questionnaire has been developed to measure the influence of Social Capital on health in relation to CKD among Mexican adolescents. ©The authors ©Public Library of Science (PLoS) ©PLOS One.
