HIV/AIDS Educational Module Content Validity Index for University Students in Pakistan

Forty-eight university students and six public health experts evaluated a culturally adapted HIV/AIDS educational module. The dataset contains validation indices, including Fleiss’ Kappa and Content Validity Indices (CVI), from a study in Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan. It was published by Sarmad Jamal Siddiqi on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate educational content for cultural relevance based on expert and student ratings.
• Assess inter-rater agreement for survey instruments using Fleiss’ Kappa Index.
• Calculate Content Validity Indices (CVI) for health education modules.
• Replicate validation methodology for similar health education programs in other regions.

Strengths

• High inter-rater agreement reported, with Kappa values of 0.80 (students) and 0.82 (experts).
• Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave) exceeded 0.90 for all evaluator groups.
• Validation process involved multiple stages, including qualitative research with religious scholars.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
