Abstract Background An English language oral health-related negative impact scale for 0-5 year old infants the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale ECOHIS has recently been developed and validated. The overall aim of our study was to validate a French version of the ECOHIS. The objectives were to investigate the scale s i internal consistency ii test-retest reliability iii convergent validity and iv discriminant validity. Methods Data were collected from two separate samples. Firstly from 398 parents of children aged 12 months recruited to a community-based intervention study and secondly from 94 parents of 0-5 year-old children attending a hospital dental clinic. In a sub-sample of101 of the communitybased group the scale was distributed a second time two weeks after initial evaluation. Internal consistency was evaluated through generation of Cronbach s alpha test-retest reliability through intra-class-correlation coefficients ICC convergent validity through comparing scale total scores with a global evaluation of oral health and .
