The subject of this article is a presentation of chosen problems connected with cross-cultural adaptation of school-based prevention programmes. These problems are described according to an example of the two first parts of the American Northland Project. The aim of this project is to delay the onset of alcohol use among young adolescents. As the first step, the adaptation required an expert opinion on the goals and theoretical background of the Northland Project. The second was adjustment of the programme to Polish cultural conditions - however, these changes could not modify the prevention strategies, which were used in the programme and which determined its effectiveness. The goal of the adaptation was creation of the Polish version, which will be accepted by students, their parents and teachers. The final step of adaptation, was evaluation of the effectiveness of the Polish version of the programme.

We aimed to perform cross-cultural adaptation of the Interprofessional Collaboration Scale (IPC-BR) and to evaluate evidence of its validity for the Brazilian hospital context. The research consisted of six steps: translation of the instrument into the new language, synthesis of the translated versions, back-translation, synthesis of the versions in the original language, evaluation of the syntheses by an expert committee, and pilot testing or pretesting and validation of the internal structure of the items of the instrument. The pilot testing involved 4 translators, 14 judges, and 30 healthcare professionals; the validation of the internal structure involved 686 professionals including nurses, physicians and physiotherapists.
