Abstract

Background and Purpose:Healthcare-seeking behavior is an issue affecting the promotion of sexual health among Filipino men. However, tools to measure healthcare-seeking behaviors among men, in general, are scarce. This study aimed to find evidence of validity and reliability of the Health Care-Seeking Behavior Questionnaire (HCSBQ).Methods:A cross-sectional online survey was conducted amongN= 464 Filipino men. Linear Structural Relations (LISREL®) was used for statistical analysis.Results:The HCSBQ demonstrates validity and reliability after data analysis. The overall Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94 shows excellent internal consistency. The exploratory factor analysis revealed three latent variables, namely, interactional, intellectual, and active and decision-making. Cronbach’s alpha for each latent variable is 0.91, 0.84, and 0.88, respectively. A confirmatory factor analysis shows an excellent goodness-of-fit indices (Adjusted Goodness-of-Fit Index [AGFI] = .95; Goodness-of-Fit Index [GFI] = .97; Comparative Fit Index [CFI] = .99; Incremental Fit Index [IFI] = .99; Expected Cross Validation Index [ECVI] = .45; and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation [RMSEA] = .03).Conclusions:The HCSBQ is a valid and reliable tool to measure healthcare-seeking behaviors among Filipino men.
