A Brazilian Portuguese translation and cultural adaptation of a questionnaire designed to evaluate teasing during physical and sports activities among adolescents.

The final instrument was adapted to the Brazilian context, with potential understanding issues noted for younger age groups.

Use Cases

Strengths

• The adaptation followed a rigorous six-stage process including expert committee review and pre-testing.
• Pre-final version was tested with 38 adolescents from a specific age range (11-18 years).

Limitations
