Abstract
Objectives: to translate and adapt the Attitudes Towards Suicide questionnaire to the Brazilian context.
Methods: methodological, cross-sectional study. The original English version of the instrument was translated into Brazilian Portuguese, subsequently back-translated into the original language and sent to the original authors. It was then assessed by a Committee of Experts composed of nine members and evaluated through a pre-test with 35 participants from the general population aged 18 to 65 years. Data were coded and analyzed using a statistical software.
Results: most participants evaluated the questionnaire as good (88.6%); with important items (94.3%); easy to understand (88.6%) and without need for changes (91.2%).
Conclusions: the instrument allows the analysis of factors that may influence attitudes towards suicide in the national context. This information may support better interventions and strategic actions for suicide prevention.
