我们评估了一项研究的数据收集阶段，该研究探讨了生活在南佛罗里达（N=320）的160对拉丁美洲母亲和女儿的队列的物质使用和其他健康行为，通过与研究的采访者进行焦点小组。焦点小组的目标是评估在拉丁美洲妇女研究中使用的问卷的适当性，并确定在美国与拉丁美洲妇女进行研究时可能遇到的潜在障碍和挑战。从这一重点的结果提供了有益的洞察到研究中的文化适应的做法，并说明需要聘请文化知情的采访者和设计适应良好的调查问卷与拉丁美洲妇女的研究。
We assessed the data collection phase of a study that examines the substance using and other health behaviors of a cohort of 160 dyads of Latino mothers and daughters living in South Florida (N=320), by conducting a focus group with the study's interviewers. The objective of the focus group was to assess the appropriateness of the questionnaire utilized in the Latino Women's Study, and identify potential barriers and challenges that may be encountered when conducting research with Latino women in the United States. The results from this focus provide useful insight into the practice of cultural adaptations in research studies, and illustrate the need for employing culturally-informed interviewers and for devising well-adapted questionnaires in studies with Latino women.
