Language is a key consideration in the development of culturally-responsive interventions for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), and this includes not only the delivery of services, but also screening and evaluation materials. Given that Spanish is the most widely used language within the United States (U.S.) outside of English, it is important to ensure that measures of IPV are valid and reliable for use with Spanish-speaking survivors in the U.S. context. As such, the purpose of this study is to validate the Scale of Economic Abuse-12 for use with Spanish-speaking survivors. This study utilizes baseline data from 436 survivors of IPV who participated in a longitudinal, randomized controlled study evaluating a financial empowerment program. This included 201 participants that completed the survey in Spanish, and 235 participants that completed the survey in English. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test for measurement invariance across the Spanish and English language survey groups. After measurement invariance testing was completed, the reliability of the SEA-12 was examined for both groups. When examining the psychometric equivalence of the SEA-12 for both English and Spanish-speaking survivors of IPV, partial strict measurement invariance was achieved. The reliability of the scale and its subscales were also generally good. Results from this study demonstrated that the SEA-12 performed well with the Spanish-speaking survivors in this sample based in the U.S. As such, the Spanish translation of the SEA-12 can be recommended for use in research and practice with Spanish-speaking survivors within the U.S.

语言是发展针对亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）幸存者的具有文化响应性的干预措施的关键考虑因素，这不仅包括提供服务，还包括筛选和评估材料。鉴于西班牙语是除英语之外在美国（美国）内使用最广泛的语言，因此重要的是要确保IPV的措施有效和可靠，以便在美国范围内与讲西班牙语的幸存者一起使用。因此，本研究的目的是验证与西班牙裔幸存者一起使用的经济滥用量表-12。这项研究利用了来自436名IPV幸存者的基线数据，他们参加了一项纵向，随机对照研究，该研究评估了财务授权计划。其中包括201位以西班牙语完成调查的参与者，235名参与者以英语完成了调查。验证性因素分析（CFA）用于测试西班牙语和英语调查组之间的测量不变性。在完成测量不变性测试后，对两组的SEA-12的可靠性进行了检查。当检查英语和西班牙语的IPV幸存者的SEA-12的心理等效性时，实现了部分严格的度量不变性。该量表及其子量表的可靠性通常也不错。这项研究的结果表明，在美国的样本中，SEA-12对讲西班牙语的幸存者表现良好。因此，SEA-12的西班牙语翻译可建议用于讲西班牙语的幸存者的研究和实践中。在美国境内 验证性因素分析（CFA）用于测试西班牙语和英语调查组之间的测量不变性。在完成测量不变性测试后，对两组的SEA-12的可靠性进行了检查。当检查英语和西班牙语的IPV幸存者的SEA-12的心理计量等效性时，实现了部分严格的度量不变性。该量表及其子量表的可靠性通常也不错。这项研究的结果表明，在美国的样本中，SEA-12对讲西班牙语的幸存者表现良好。因此，SEA-12的西班牙语翻译可建议用于讲西班牙语的幸存者的研究和实践中。在美国境内 验证性因素分析（CFA）用于测试西班牙语和英语调查组之间的测量不变性。在完成测量不变性测试后，对两组的SEA-12的可靠性进行了检查。当检查英语和西班牙语的IPV幸存者的SEA-12的心理计量等效性时，实现了部分严格的度量不变性。该量表及其子量表的可靠性通常也不错。这项研究的结果表明，在美国的样本中，SEA-12对讲西班牙语的幸存者表现良好。因此，SEA-12的西班牙语翻译可建议用于讲西班牙语的幸存者的研究和实践中。在美国境内
