Objective: To validate the Life-Support Preferences Questionnaire (LSPQ) for its use in Spain.
Design: Three-stage study: a) translation and linguistic adaptation; b) evaluation of its validity; and c) validation of its psychometric properties.
Setting: Nine primary care nursing clinics and 2 university classes in Granada, Spain.
Participants: Patients who were of age and were first- or second-year university students, without any cognitive deterioration.
Main Measurements: The equivalence of the translation and the original was checked by bilingual people; its linguistic and grammatical standard was appraised by experts in Spanish. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by 15 judges-experts and 20 patients; linguistic complexity (Szigriszt index); stability in time (McNemar test); internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha).
Results: a) 2 bilingual people did a translation that was reviewed by 6 experts in Spanish. After alterations suggested by the experts, the bilingual people ratified its equivalence with the original; b) 15 experts affirmed that each item was a good indicator of care preferences at the end of life; c) 20 users confirmed the acceptability and comprehensibility of the questionnaire; d) reliability: 299 participants out of the 369 initially selected filled in the questionnaire; and e) its stability was 0.92; and its internal consistency, 0.85.
Conclusion: The LSPQ questionnaire in Spanish (LSPQ-e) is a reliable tool, designed to help patients to clarify their care and treatment preferences at the end of their lives.

Digital exclusion is a global issue that disproportionately affects older individuals especially in low- and middle-income nations. However, there is a wide gap in current research regarding the impact of digital exclusion on the mental health of older adults in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries. We analyzed data from 5 longitudinal cohorts: the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), and the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS).
