AB  - AIM: To validate the Thai version of the Health Literacy in Dentistry scale 
      (HeLD-Th) among Thai adults with physical disabilities. METHODS: The original 
      Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD) was translated into Thai (HeLD-Th). The final 
      version of the HeLD-Th was evaluated through a cross-sectional study of 160 
      participants in Thailand. Interview questionnaires and oral examination were 
      performed. The reliability and validity of the HeLD-Th were determined. RESULTS: 
      The internal consistency was acceptable, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 
      0.76. The face and content validity were confirmed. Sufficient construct validity 
      was revealed by exploratory factor analysis. The convergent validity (P </= .013) 
      and discriminant validity (P = .017) were estimated. The concurrent validity and 
      predictive validity were confirmed by significantly higher HeLD-Th scores 
      (P < .001). Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that approximately 60% 
      of the variation in the HeLD-Th scores was explained by the final model. 
      CONCLUSION: The HeLD-Th has sufficient psychometric properties to assess the oral 
      health literacy of Thai adults with mild to moderate disabilities. There are some 
      limitations of the study due to the small sample size, and the results are 
      specific to Thai adults with disabilities. Future studies using the HeLD-Th scale 
      are recommended.
