AB  - OBJECTIVE: Exposure to third-hand smoke (THS) poses health risk, especially for 
      children. THS is mostly ignored in Turkey. The aim of this study is to adapt the 
      Beliefs about Third-Hand Smoke (BATHS) scale to Turkish. METHODS: The BATHS scale 
      consists of 9 items, and the data collected from 273 people was considered 
      sufficient for analyses in this methodological study. The BATHS scale is 
      translated into Turkish and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed for 
      the construct validity analysis of the scale. RESULTS: The correlation between 
      the overall BATHS scale and its two sub-dimensions was 0.937 (p < 0.001), and the 
      correlation between the health and persistence sub-dimensions was 0.775 (p < 
      0.001). Since there was a statistically positive and highly significant 
      relationship, the adapted BATHS scale was considered structurally compatible with 
      the sub-dimensions. The reliability value of the entire scale is 0.90. 
      Test-retest correlation values between the health and persistence dimensions were 
      between 0.745 and 0.960, the values obtained were above 0.70 and had a 
      statistically positive and high level of significant relationship (p < 0.001). 
      CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the Turkish version of the BATHS scale is 
      reliable and valid. This scale will allow further research and training on 
      third-hand smoke exposure. Tobacco control programmes success will improve.
