Finally, reliability and validity were tested by a sample of 601 middle school students of both genders attending all three grades.
RESULTS: The developed evaluation tool contained 31 items on the sexual knowledge and 22 items on the sexual attitude.
The results of reliability tests were as follows: Cronbachs alpha for sexual knowledge was .84; and for sexual attitude was .88.
