Psychometric validation of the school health assessment tool for primary schools in Southeast Nigeria
The SHAT-PS was successfully validated for use in Nigerian primary schools. Its robust psychometric performance and contextual alignment with national school health priorities make it a valuable tool for monitor school health and inform targeted interventions. Further validation in other regions and among broader stakeholder groups is recommended to enhance its generalizability and support nationwide implementation.
