Cultural & region-specific adaptation of KAP (Knowledge, attitude, and practice) tool to capture healthy lifestyle within primary care settings
A culturally sensitive and region specific KAP tool specifically designed for healthy lifestyles can aid in health advocacy, monitoring modifiable risk factors, capturing rich epidemiological data to design preventive interventions, surveillance of high risks patients and strengthening the existing health information systems. Further research is needed to explore evidence-based methodologies to formulate an age-specific and shorter version of KAPs survey without compromising the validity of the tool within specific regional primary healthcare settings.
