“…The internal consistency of the DHI/CA-SF, measured by the Cronbach alpha coefficient presented similar, although lower but adequate values when compared with the original version of the DHI-CA (6) . This similarity occurred for both the total scale and for the three subscales (physical, functional and emotional domains).…”

“…Analysis of the functional and emotional domains of DHI/ CA-SF showed they presented higher scores when compared with the analysis of the same subscales in the original version of the DHI-CA and when the DHI was applied in patients in the age-range from 11 to 30 years (5,6) . This datum reflects the greater limitation of children with regard to restriction of the activities evaluated by the functional subscale, because the limitation of certain activities lead to children being less exposed to the risk of the appearance of dizziness.…”

“…Concerned about quantifying the interference of dizziness in the day-to-day life of children, researchers elaborated the Dizziness Handicap Inventory Child/Adolescent (DHI-CA) (6) , from the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). The DHI is an inventory designed to measure the incapacitating effected imposed by dizziness on the quality of life of adult subjects.…”

“…The purpose of using it is not only to diagnose, but also to evaluate the effects of treatment (7) . At present, there are few studies that make reference to the DHI as a tool for evaluating the impact of dizziness in pediatric patients, namely: the DHI-PC, which evaluates children's dizziness from the perspective of care-givers (8) and the DHI-CA (6) , which measures the impact of dizziness on the quality of life of children and adolescents, for the purpose of quantifying the effects imposed on daily life functions. These tools may be incorporated in the evaluation of children who suffer from vertigo.…”

Introduction: Dizziness during childhood and adolescence interferes with psychological behavior, and can lead to consequences such as poor academic performance and language disorders. Purpose: To develop and verify the applicability of the short version of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory-Child/Adolescent (DHI-CA) in school-going children and adolescents. Methods: A methodological validation study developed in municipal public network teaching units of Cabula Sanitary District/ Beiru de Salvador, Bahia. Data were collected by means of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory Child/Adolescent (DHI-CA) and proposed short version denominated Dizziness Handicap Inventory Child/Adolescentshort form (DHI-CA/SF). The DHI-CA/SF is composed of 15 objective questions divided into subscales corresponding to emotional, physical and functional aspects. Results: The sample of 97 children and adolescents was composed of 69 girls (71.1%) and 28 (28.9%), boys. The age-range was from 7 to 15 years with mean age of 11 years. Internal consistency relative to the total scale was α=0.84; and α=0.66 for the functional; α=0.61, emotional, and α=0.65 for the physical subscale. Relative to agreement between the two applications of DHI-CA/SF, the authors verified that the intra-examiner intraclass correlation coefficients demonstrated satisfactory agreement, and satisfactory to excellent agreement for the items in the second application. Agreement values in the second application were: -emotional: 0.70; -Functional: 0.93, and Physical: 0.80. Conclusion: By means of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory Child/Adolescent DHI-CA it was possible to obtain a short version denominated Dizziness Handicap Inventory Child/Adolescent-short form (DHI/CA-SF) applicable in children or adolescents with complaints of dizziness.
