Versão brasileira do BITE para uso em adolescentes

This work aimed to translate the Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh - BITE into Portuguese and adapt it in a sample of 109 adolescents aged from 12 to 16. The methodological referential was translation and retro-translation, cross cultural adaptation, face validation and final version application. Statistical analysis methods were observed coincidence, intra and inter examiners kappa index and Cronbach´s alpha. Observed coincidence and intra and inter-examiners kappa analysis varied from good to excellent (OC - 88,9% to 100% and kappa 0,60 to 1,0). Cronbach´s alpha measure indicated a high degree of intern consistence (0,76), showing reliability of scale. Translation of BITE – Adolescent’s version showed a good linguistic, conceptual and scale equivalence, with precision indexes and content validity
