“…Participants were categorized by age group (9-12, 13-15, or [16][17][18] and by whether they were "home-based" (46.8%) or "street-based" (53.2%). Home-based youth were all those who "always or almost always" slept at home (N = 156), and those who slept in other non-street locations but had frequent family contact (daily or weekly) and did not engage in illegal survival activities (N = 20).…”

“…We recruited mothers because they are the primary communicators and health care coordinators in the family arena, 30 and because data collection from multiple informants increases the value of the information. 31 We included older adolescent daughters because they are more likely than younger girls to be sexually active and to have reproductive health needs. Using the practices' clinical information systems, we identifi ed women who had visited 1 of the 5 health centers within the previous 4 months.…”

PURPOSE We wanted to obtain perspectives of mothers and daughters on facilitators of and barriers to with adolescent girls' timely access to risk-appropriate reproductive care. METHODSWe conducted 5 separate focus groups with Latina and black mothers and their adolescent daughters. All participants resided in impoverished neighborhoods of New York City. Participants addressed mothers' roles in helping girls initiate gynecologic care, perceived role of physicians in daughters' sexual health, including the provision of confi dential care, and perceived need for girls' gynecologic care. Data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis methods.RESULTS Mothers see themselves as their daughters' primary protectors against daughters' poor reproductive outcomes. Many believe that confi dential care promotes risky behavior and undermines mothers' efforts to protect girls. Mothers endorse facilitating gynecologic care and entering alliances with physicians but see the need for care as arising only after girls' sexual debut. Unfortunately, maternal awareness of sexual activity is low. Adolescent girls express considerable discomfort around reproductive health care and negotiating maternal involvement, and they fear breaches in confi dentiality.CONCLUSIONS A lack of trust in health care clinicians and the mother's gatekeeper role are key barriers to girls' transition to reproductive care. Consistently including a confi dential component to health care visits in early adolescence, with preparation for both mothers and daughters, may reduce the distrust and discomfort.

“…O passo seguinte foi garantir a adequação do instrumento ao contexto das populações locais. c) Adaptação lingüístico-cultural com base nos resultados da fase formativa do PRISSMA 14 , na qual foram utilizados métodos etnográficos (observações etnográficas, grupos focais e entrevistas com informantes-chave) que geraram uma ampla compreensão das crenças, normas e atitudes relativas a sexualidade, identidade sexual e comportamentos sexuais (de risco) 28 . A comparação transcendeu o sentido literal de palavras, expressões e estruturas, na medida em que incorporou aspectos socioculturais envolvidos em qualquer situação de língua em uso 29 …”

ResumoIntrodução: A investigação sistemática e detalhada dos comportamentos sexuais de risco constitui um dos principais alicerces para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas que visam à criação de intervenções eficazes para a prevenção do HIV. Objetivo: Descrever e discutir as etapas do processo de adaptação lingüístico-cultural das versões masculina e feminina da Escala de Avaliação de Comportamento Sexual de Risco para pacientes psiquiátricos para o português brasileiro pelo Projeto Interdisciplinar em Sexualidade, Saúde Mental e AIDS. Método: Treinamento dos investigadores brasileiros no instrumento original, comparação da tradução e da retrotradução, seguida de adaptação lingüístico-cultural à luz da fase formativa do projeto, resultando em uma versão utilizada no treinamento dos entrevistadores brasileiros em entrevistas com pacientes psiquiátricos. Verificação lingüística, confiabilidade qualitativa do instrumento e confiabilidade entre entrevistadores constituíram as etapas complementares para a versão final do questionário. Resultados: Exclusão e adição de seções e itens da escala, tanto nos aspectos conceituais quanto estruturais, foram realizadas, bem como a incorporação de achados resultantes da fase formativa do piloto da pesquisa e mudanças lingüísticas relativas ao registro empregado. Descritores: Questionários, comportamento de risco, comparação transcultural, prevenção de doenças transmissíveis, estudos de intervenção. AbstractIntroduction: A systematic and detailed investigation of sexual risk behaviors is one of the main foundations in the development of research projects aimed at designing effective interventions for HIV prevention. Objective: This paper presents and discusses the stages of the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of male and female versions of the Sexual Risk Behavior Assessment Schedule for psychiatric patients into Brazilian Portuguese, carried out by the Interdisciplinary Project in Sexuality, Mental Health and AIDS. Methods: Training of Brazilian investigators in the original questionnaire, comparison between translation and back-translation, followed by linguistic and cultural adaptation in the light of the project formative phase were performed, resulting in a version used to train Brazilian interviewers in interviewing psychiatric patients. Language verification, qualitative reliability and interrater reliability were used to complement the final version of the instrument. Results: Elimination and addition of instrument sections and items covering both conceptual and structural aspects were carried out. Incorporation of formative findings from the pilot study and linguistic changes in terms of register were also performed.
