来自美国各地阿尔茨海默氏症中心(ADC)的研究人员在评估讲西班牙语的老年人方面拥有专业知识，他们合作创建了国家老龄阿尔茨海默氏病中心项目统一数据集中的官方西班牙语版本的测量方法。本文介绍了这一项目，其主要目标是编写与英文版本在文化和语言上等同的西班牙文书。由此产生的西班牙语版本规定了美国不同国籍、不同社会文化、不同语言和教育背景的西班牙语群体之间的差异。采用了基于协商一致的翻译和改编办法，并总结了这一过程的指导原则和具体组成部分。统一数据集措施的西班牙文翻译和改编已于2007年4月在网上提供给ADC。它的创建很重要，因为由此产生的努力为收集全国大量讲西班牙语的老年人的横断面和纵向数据提供了标准化措施，并促进了发展援助中心之间的合作研究。
Researchers from Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) across the United States with expertise in the assessment of Spanish-speaking elderly collaborated to create the official Spanish version of measures in the Uniform Data Set of the National Institute on Aging Alzheimer's Disease Center Program. The present article describes this project, whose primary goal was to create Spanish instruments with cultural and linguistic equivalence to the English versions. The resulting Spanish versions make provisions for variations among Spanish-speaking groups in the United States of different nationalities, socio-cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds. A consensus-based translation and adaptation approach was used, and guiding principles and specific components of this process are summarized. The Spanish translation and adaptation of the Uniform Data Set measures became available online to ADCs in April 2007. Its creation is important, as the resulting effort provides standardized measures for the collection of cross-sectional and longitudinal data on a large cohort of Spanish-speaking elders across the country and facilitates collaborative research among ADCs.
