Touil, Nathalie Tsao, Raphaele Straccia, Claudio 2023-02-21 The aim of this study was to develop a transcultural adaptation of the Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale (DABS) in French and to perform a field evaluation of the adapted version of the tool (DABS-F). Eight experts in intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and two professional translators formed two committees to translate the instrument. Thirty-four independent experts in IDD rated the clarity and relevance of the DABS-F. Results indicated complete agreement between the two translation committees and also demonstrated very satisfactory levels of clarity and relevance for the DABS-F. The latter result can be considered as evidence of the content validity of the adapted tool. Adjustments for the few items that presented less satisfactory results are discussed. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/325762 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/325762/files/i1944-7558-128-2-176.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1352/1944-7558-128.2.176 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1944-7558 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. - American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD). - 2023, vol. 128, no. 2, p. 176-180 transcultural adaptation DABS adaptive behavior intellectual disability diagnosis The French Version of the DABS : Adaptation Process and Preliminary Field Test http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
