药物使用和暴力是影响巴西青年的严重问题，促使地方当局投资于适应和实施国外制定的循证预防方案。为了确保干预措施是有效的，需要对药物使用和暴力的风险因素进行有效和可靠的衡量。我们进行了一个试点检查的测量属性的风险因素的社区，关心青年调查（CTCYS），一个以学校为基础的调查，在美国。巴西改编的CTCYS包括25个风险因素以及物质使用和反社会行为的措施。该调查已被翻译成巴西葡萄牙语，并根据当地专家的建议进行了调整，以供巴西使用。这项调查对巴西一个社区的926名学生进行。结果表明，规模内部一致性是可以接受的，但两个规模：（一）学术失败和（二）叛逆。实证因素分析表明，良好的模型拟合大多数测量模型，虽然大多数规模的微小修改。这项试点研究的结果为在巴西使用CTCYS评估青少年风险的社区水平和评估预防方案提供了基础。
Substance use and violence are serious problems affecting Brazilian youth, prompting local authorities to invest in adapting and implementing evidence-based prevention programs developed abroad. To ensure that interventions are effective, valid and reliable measures of risk factors for substance use and violence are needed. We conducted a pilot examination of the measurement properties of risk factors in the Communities That Care Youth Survey (CTCYS), a school-based survey developed in the United States. The Brazilian-adapted CTCYS included 25 risk factors as well as measures of substance use and antisocial behaviors. The survey was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and adapted for use in Brazil, incorporating suggestions from local experts. The survey was administered to 926 students in one Brazilian community. Results indicate that scale internal consistency was acceptable for all but two scales: (i) Academic Failure and (ii) Rebelliousness. Confirmatory factor analyses suggested good model fit for most measurement models albeit with minor modifications for most scales. Findings from this pilot study provide a foundation for the use of the CTCYS in Brazil to assess community levels of adolescent risk and evaluate prevention programs.
