Abstract

The instruments to explore eating disorders (ED) have been developed and evaluated mainly for the Caucasian population. This situation has limited the availability of instruments validated and adapted for the Latino/Hispanic population. Due to the challenge it represents for researchers in the United States who study ED in Latinos/Hispanics, this article aims to review the instruments in Spanish that have been validated and adapted for the Latino/Hispanic population living in the United States. In addition, psychometric and cultural considerations that should be incorporated when using an instrument that has been constructed and evaluated for a specific population or sub-population will be discussed. Four instruments, two to establish diagnoses of ED (S-EDE and EDE-Q) and two to explore symptoms associated with body dissatisfaction (BSQ and BICI) were identified. The availability of instruments in Spanish for use with Latinos in the United States is very limited and has not been evaluated in all the subgroups of Latinos / Hispanics that comprise the population in the United States. This is a challenge for clinicians and researchers working with the Latino / Hispanic community with ED in the United States. (Words count: 186).

在美国，饮食失调的工具经过验证并适用于西班牙裔/拉丁裔人群。

研究饮食失调(ED)的工具主要是针对高加索人群开发和评估的。这种情况限制了拉丁裔/西班牙裔人口验证和调整的工具的可用性。由于它对美国研究拉丁裔/西班牙裔患者ED的研究人员所代表的挑战，本文旨在回顾已经验证并适用于生活在美国的拉丁裔/西班牙裔人群的西班牙语工具。此外，将讨论在使用针对特定人群或亚人群构建和评估的工具时应考虑的心理测量学和文化因素。确定了四种仪器，两种用于诊断ED (S-EDE和ED - q)，两种用于探索与身体不满相关的症状(BSQ和BICI)。在美国，供拉丁美洲人使用的西班牙语器械的可用性非常有限，并且尚未在构成美国人口的所有拉丁美洲/西班牙裔亚群中进行评估。这对美国拉丁裔/西班牙裔ED患者的临床医生和研究人员来说是一个挑战。(字数:186)。

期刊介绍： La política editorial de la revista es publicar artículos sobre temas relevantes del comportamiento alimentario, como ciencia y profesión, que sean de interés y tengan impacto en esta área de conocimiento. La revista acepta para su publicación, artículos de investigación básica y aplicada, así como de carácter teórico o emprírico, sobre las principales disciplinas (psicología, psiquiatría, medicina, biología, nutrición, etc..) que signifiquen un avance en el área del comportamiento alimentario. Se publican artículos originales (investigaciones), artículos de revisión y casos clínicos Excepcionalmente se aceptarán trabajos teóricos; éstos deberán significar una contribución sobre el estado actual de alguno de los tópicos relacionados a la alimentación. Dentro de su proceso de revisión por pares (doble-ciego), cuenta con la participación de investigadores de alto nivel y probada calidad científica y metodológica para la crítica editorial de los manuscritos que recibe. La crítica editorial en la Revista Mexicana de Trastornos Alimentarios/Mexican Journal of Eating Disorders cumple dos finalidades: por un lado, hacer una recomendación debidamente fundamentada sobre la pertinencia de un manuscrito, y por otro, retroalimentar a los autores sobre la calidad del trabajo, indicando no sólo aciertos y fallas, sino describiendo, cuando se trate de fallas, los pasos que debería seguir el autor para corregirlas. Los textos presentados para su posible publicación estarán sujetos a la programación de la revista y a la evaluación que realicen los editores.
