Protective Factors tool in Spanish?

[Guest guest]

Hola:

The Issue:

One of our fundors has asked us to have our participants complete a

protective factors survey tool that they developed for caregivers. The

five areas they are measuring are:

family functioning/resiliency

social support

concrete support

nurturing and attachment

knowledge of parenting/child development

The Problem:

This survey is only available in English and has not been translated.

In fact, if translated, it is most likely not culturally appropriate.

Lastly, our participants are Spanish-speakers and perhaps SOME read in

their native language also.

Proposed solution: Anyone out there have a protective factors tools,

indicator, assessment, survey or whatever, that measures these types of

items? They may be willing to let us administer a more appropriate

tool. Your help, as always, is greatly appreciated!

, if the material is translated, why

would it not be appropriate? Just make sure to use the appropriate Spanish for

the region.
