Establishing rigorous translation and cross-cultural adaptation (TCCA) processes for abuse questionnaires is challenging. We propose a methodological TCCA protocol for abuse questionnaires based on our current adaptation of the Composite Abuse Scale (CAS) into Brazilian Portuguese. This 10-step protocol includes: (a) conceptual analysis; (b) double-blinded forward translation; (c) comparison of forward translations; (d) back-translation; (e) developer analysis; (f) specialist committee review; (g) comparison of specialist reviews; (h) cognitive interviews; (i) final reconciliation; and (j) presenting the final version to the developer. We aim to rigorously implement this protocol to achieve a reliable Brazilian Portuguese version of the CAS.

为滥用问卷建立严格的翻译和跨文化适应 (TCCA) 流程具有挑战性。我们基于我们目前将综合滥用量表 (CAS) 改编为巴西葡萄牙语，提出了一种用于滥用问卷调查的方法 TCCA 协议。这个 10 步协议包括： (a) 概念分析；(b) 双盲正向翻译；(c) 正向翻译的比较；(d) 回译；(e) 开发商分析；(f) 专家委员会审查；(g) 专家审查比较；(h) 认知访谈；(i) 最终和解；(j) 向开发者展示最终版本。我们的目标是严格执行该协议，以实现可靠的巴西葡萄牙语版本的 CAS。
