Leprosy Case Detection Delay Questionnaire Validation Data for Igbo-Speaking Populations

38.0 KB of baseline and retest data for the psychometric validation of a culturally adapted leprosy questionnaire. The dataset, authored by Chinwe Eze and last updated in June 2026, contains responses used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Igbo-language Leprosy Case Detection Delay (CDD) Questionnaire. The study involved forward and back translation, expert review, content validation, and cognitive testing among persons affected by leprosy in Nigeria.

Use Cases

• Assessing test-retest reliability based on baseline and retest response data.
• Evaluating internal consistency of the questionnaire based on psychometric evaluation results.
• Validating a health instrument for cross-cultural use based on the described translation and adaptation process.
• Studying factors contributing to leprosy case detection delays based on questionnaire responses.

Strengths

• Dataset is 38.0 KB, indicating a focused and manageable size for analysis.
• Psychometric evaluation demonstrated excellent content validity, strong test–retest reliability, and good internal consistency, as stated in the description.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
