In order to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding drug addiction, a questionnaire having predetermined objectives was applied on fifty B. Ed. students of Murshidabad district. The Difficulty Index and Discrimination Index of each item were calculated and the items were accepted, modified, or rejected on the basis of these indexes. A test-retest method between fifteen days gap was also administered to determine the reliability of this tool. Pearson's correlation coefficient between the two tests scores justified the reliability of the questionnaire. Finally, it has been concluded that item analysis and item reliability play a significant role in constructing questionnaires. – Reproduced
