![]() The hypothesis was PCP holding postgraduate qualification (PCP-PG-Qual) would have better FH KAP compared with PCP without postgraduate qualification (PCP-noPG-Qual). The construct validity was tested using known-groups validation method. Data were collected on their KAP, demography, qualification and work experience. In Phase 2, the adapted questionnaire was disseminated through e-mail to 1500 PCP. The questionnaire was then converted into an online survey instrument and was face validated by 10 PCP. In Phase 1, the original 19-item FH KAP questionnaire underwent content validation and adaptation by 7 experts. This cross-sectional validation study involved Malaysian PCP with ≥ 1-year work experience in the primary care settings. Thus, the aim of this study was to adapt an FH KAP questionnaire and determine its validity and reliability among Malaysian PCP. However, knowledge, awareness and practice (KAP) regarding FH among Malaysian PCP are not well established, and there was no validated tool to assess their FH KAP. Primary care physicians (PCP) play an important role in detecting Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) early.
