![]() The final version of the questionnaire was highly accepted by the general adult population as reflected by the response rate (95.85%) and the low percentage of unanswered questions (0.4–2.7%). We estimated the indicators of model fit and demonstrated that the selected model has a good to excellent fit, thus establishing the construct validity. We carried out Confirmatory Factor Analysis using cross loadings and modification indices to choose the most adequate model in data collected from 844 adults. Following face validity and pilot testing, the Test–Retest Reliability in a sample of 145 adults confirmed the reliability of the questions. The S-CVI statistic showed the content validity of the scale (S-CVI/Ave: 0.95). The Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and modified Kappa statistic (K*), confirmed the content validity of the questions (0.78 ≤ I-CVI ≤ 1.00 and 0.78 ≤ K* ≤ 1.00). We undertook an exhaustive literature review to design a comprehensive KAP questionnaire concerning the personal use of antibiotics in Galicia, North Spain. ![]() I saw how champions are made.Numerous questionnaires are available on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) towards antibiotics' use by adults, but none of these questionnaires is fully validated. Now, as a media professional, I saw it all happening right from the first ball of the 2011 World Cup. We had grown up to stories of the brilliance of that charismatic team, the heroics of Madan Lal, Roger Binny and so many others. Kapil Dev had lifted the World Cup at Lord's before I was born. Sachin Tendulkar was emotional and as I took in the sights, his children walked over to see their father realise his lifelong ambition of becoming a world champion. Even the Sri Lankan fans had joined in the celebrations. Nobody had left the ground and they wouldn't leave in a hurry. As I stood near the podium, I could feel the stadium reverberate with joy. The post-match presentation ceremony was special for obvious reasons. There was hope and anticipation throughout and once Dhoni lifted Nuwan Kulasekara for a six to seal India's first World Cup since 1983, there was an outpouring of emotions. But the media, the fans and every stakeholder at the ground had a smile. The who's who of the country were attending the World Cup final. Security was stricter than usual and it was understandable. But Tendulkar's dismissal silenced every Indian spectator - the only semblance of sound came from the heavily outnumbered Sri Lankan supporters. I watched some of the action with several thousand fans whose energy did not ebb one bit in the oppressive heat. As it happened, I had walked out of the press box to say hello to a couple of friends in the stands. ![]() That evening, there was hushed silence across the ground as Malinga threatened to spoil India's party. Virender Sehwag fell for a duck and soon after, Tendulkar was out for 18 - both those wickets were taken out by Lasith Malinga, a crowd favourite at the Wankhede usually for his exploits for Mumbai Indians. Sachin Tendulkar was playing in front of his home crowd and, as it turned out, that was the last time he played an ODI in India. India were playing at home and their previous World Cup had ended in embarrassment after being knocked out by Bangladesh in 2007. No team had chased those many runs ever in a World Cup final. It was a stiff target for many, many reasons.
