“…It was hypothesized that selfreported blacks or mixed skin color, women, individuals who were older, poor and admitted through college admission quotas would score higher. 4 The convergent validity assessment, which tests the correlation between the discrimination score and other measures to which it should be associated, was checked using estimates of association with alcohol use, smoking, common mental disorders and self-reported health status. These health behaviors and conditions have been associated to stress factors and experiences of discrimination in previous studies.…”

OBJECTIVE:To develop an instrument to assess discrimination effects on health outcomes and behaviors, capable of distinguishing harmful differential treatment effects from their interpretation as discriminatory events. METHODS:Successive versions of an instrument were developed based on a systematic review of instruments assessing racial discrimination, focus groups and review by a panel comprising seven experts. The instrument was refi ned using cognitive interviews and pilot-testing. The fi nal version of the instrument was administered to 424 undergraduate college students in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil, in 2010. Structural dimensionality, two types of reliability and construct validity were analyzed. RESULTS:Exploratory factor analysis corroborated the hypothesis of the instrument's unidimensionality, and seven experts verified its face and content validity. The internal consistency was 0.8, and test-retest reliability was higher than 0.5 for 14 out of 18 items. The overall score was higher among socially disadvantaged individuals and correlated with adverse health behaviors/conditions, particularly when differential treatments were attributed to discrimination. CONCLUSIONS:These fi ndings indicate the validity and reliability of the instrument developed. The proposed instrument enables the investigation of novel aspects of the relationship between discrimination and health. DESCRIPTORS:Prejudice. Interpersonal Relations. Socioeconomic Factors. Health Inequalities. Explicit discrimination and health Bastos JL et alThe discrimination construct is closely related to the idea of injustice and, as such, has been conceptualized as the "process by which a member, or members, of a socially defi ned group is, or are, treated differently (especially unfairly) because of his/ her/ their membership of that group." 15 It has been studied worldwide in several fi elds of knowledge, such as anthropology, epidemiology, sociology and psychology, with extensive literature documenting important discrimination effects on people's daily lives. For instance, discrimination has been associated with negative health outcomes, 25 diffi cult access to the labor market, 6 and residential segregation. 25 Disc riminatory practices may be based on characteristics such as gender, age, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, social class, and other socially ascribed or acquired characteristics. These multiple types of discrimination may also be combined and experienced all at once by their victims. 4 Yet, discriminatory practices and their behavioral and cognitive responses may vary depending on the social context and historical time period.A systematic review of instruments assessing racial discrimination 3 found no widely employed instrument RESUMO OBJETIVO: Desenvolver instrumento para avaliar os efeitos de experiências discriminatórias sobre condições e comportamentos em saúde, capaz de distinguir efeitos patológicos da exposição a tratamentos diferenciais de sua interpretação como eventos discriminatórios.

Objective: To reassess the Explicit Discrimination Scale (EDS; Bastos, Faerstein, Celeste, & Barros, 2012), an instrument developed in Brazil to examine intersecting forms of discrimination, with particular attention to the number of underlying dimensions, residual correlations, share of explained item variance, and stability of the configural and metric structure in broader populations. Method: Data from two cross-sectional studies and one cohort investigation were used. Although the cross-sectional studies were conducted among racially diverse undergraduate students (n = 1,022, 45% women, mean age = 23 years; n = 424, 59% women, mean age = 22 years), the cohort study included a probabilistic sample of community residents with 18% racial/ethnic minority respondents (n = 1,187, 57% women, mean age = 42 years). A series of exploratory models, exploratory structural equation models, and confirmatory factor analyses models was estimated. Results: The EDS items might be best represented by a 3-factor model, which includes a second-order factor. Although only 1 pair of correlated residuals emerged, at least 4 different items with a sizable share of error variance were observed. The revised scale structure had an excellent fit to the data and was consistent among both undergraduate students and community residents. Conclusions: As well as demonstrating that discrimination may be structured by proximal, medial, and distal experiences with mistreatment, we suggest that the EDS has the potential to enhance research on the intersectional health impacts of discrimination. Future studies are required to assess scalability and provide scholars with a shortened version of the instrument.

Using data from two studies conducted among diverse undergraduate students, we assessed the scalar structure of the Explicit Discrimination Scale (EDS), and developed an abridged version of the instrument. Our findings suggest that the EDS has acceptable scalability properties, including an adequate dispersion of items along the latent trait continuum. Results also support the idea that increasing raw scale scores reflect higher intensities of perceived discrimination. This shortened version of the EDS may be used in large-scale studies on the health impacts of discrimination.
