After adjustment according to the suggestions, the version of the instrument was applied to 179 undergraduate students in the health area.RESULT:
The instrument has achieved in its entirety and in parts (risk factors), the minimum criteria established for the Cronbach's alpha (i.e., ≥0.70). There was no change in the Cronbach's alpha (0.551) for the maintenance of initial items of the instrument, as well as the deletion of seven assessment items.CONCLUSION:
