ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Purpose mouth breathing (MB) has detrimental effects on children's growth. Diagnosis of MB is possible through a multidisciplinary approach including Speech-Language Pathologist's (SLP) assessment; however, SLPs currently have little to no defined selection criteria to determine the awake and habitual breathing pattern. This study aims at identifying relevant criteria for the assessment of the habitual and awake breathing pattern of preschool children, and developing a grid that would help SLPs diagnose MB in their clinical practice. Methods A three-rounded online international Delphi process was conducted to achieve a consensus on the relevant items and their interpretation. Agreement was established through a Content Validity Ratio calculation. Based on the agreed items, we developed a grid through a scoring function. Results Observing the child at rest (i.e., time spent with an open/closed mouth and position of the tongue/lips) was considered the most important criterion. The experts also considered that observing the breathing pattern while chewing (open/closed mouth) and after swallowing (i.e., air intake and open/ closed mouth just after swallowing) should provide relevant but secondary information in decision-making. We were able to establish a clinical grid based on those criteria. Conclusion The Delphi procedure provided content-valid criteria and conditions of observation for the myofunctional SLP assessment of the awake and habitual breathing pattern in preschoolers. A clinical validation of the developed prototype grid should be conducted in preschool children to explore its effectiveness in the diagnosis of MB.

ABSTRACT
@#Introduction: This study entailed the process of developing an online questionnaire to determine awareness, knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy (AKAS) on healthy eating for nutrition education. Currently, there is no local validated questionnaire that can be used to assess AKAS on healthy eating among Filipino adults. Methods: The study developed the questionnaire based on theoretical frameworks and literature review. The draft questionnaire underwent three stages of development: (1) online modified Delphi technique composing of seven subject matter experts (SME) for content validity; (2) online cognitive debriefing with 32 participants (14 nutrition experts and 18 general public) for construct validity; and (3) online pre-testing with 35 participants (non-nutritionists) using test-retest method. Results: For first stage, the questionnaire contained 16 questions for awareness, 17 questions for knowledge, 17 questions for attitude, and 15 questions for self-efficacy. For second stage, significantly different scores (p-value<0.00) between nutritionist experts and general public were observed, showing good construct validity. For third stage, Spearman’s correlation of test-retest method was 0.640. The questionnaire yielded Cronbach’s alpha of 0.467 to 0.923 (round 1) and 0.435 to 0.923 (round 2). A second analysis was done to improve the internal consistency of the questionnaire.
