Background: This study was designed to assess the validity and reliability of the designed sexual,behavioral abstinence, and avoidance of high‑risk situation questionnaire (SBAHAQ), with an aimto construct an appropriate development tool in the Iranian population. Materials and Methods:A descriptive–analytic study was conducted among female undergraduate students of TehranUniversity, who were selected through cluster random sampling. After reviewing the questionnairesand investigating face and content validity, internal consistency of the questionnaire was assessedby Cronbach’s alpha. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using SPSSand AMOS 16 Software, respectively. Results: The sample consisted of 348 female universitystudents with a mean age of 20.69 ± 1.63 years. The content validity ratio (CVR) coefficient was0.85 and the reliability of each section of the questionnaire was as follows: Perceived benefit (PB;0.87), behavioral intention (BI; 0.77), and self‑efficacy (SE; 0.85) (Cronbach’s alpha totally was0.83). Explanatory factor analysis showed three factors, including SE, PB, and BI, with the totalvariance of 61% and Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) index of 88%. These factors were also confirmedby confirmatory factor analysis [adjusted goodness of fitness index (AGFI) = 0.939, root meansquare error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.039]. Conclusion: This study showed the designedquestionnaire provided adequate construct validity and reliability, and could be adequately usedto measure sexual abstinence and avoidance of high‑risk situations among female students.
