Methods: Translation, validation and reliability checking articulated according to the standard methodology for Forward-Backward Translation and psychometric evaluation. Totally, 369 Tehran households were selected through stratified random sampling from Oct 2016 to Jun 2017. Exploratory Factor Analysis used to check the construct validity of all scales. Results: Face, content and construct validity of all scales confirmed (S-CVR: . 65) and (S-CVI/Universal: . 98). The finalized Persian version (69 items in 8 scales) showed good reliability over time in test-retest (ICC: . 92) and high internal consistency both in the pilot (α : . 94) and main studies (α : . 94). No significant floor and ceiling effects were found in any of scales.
