Introduction: the "Questionnaire of habits related to overweight and obesity" was created and validated in Spanish population, and it allows to describe and quantify five dimensions related to overweight and obesity: diet caloric content, eating for psychological well-being, physical exercise, healthy eating, and alcohol consumption.
Objective: to adapt the questionnaire in Mexican population, assess their psychometric properties, and compare them with those of the Spanish version.
Method: the original questionnaire was administered to a sample of 493 Mexican patients with overweight or obesity, and different statistical tools have been applied (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis) to know the psychometric properties of the Mexican version and its degree of similarity to the original version.
Results: the questionnaire adapted to the Mexican population exhibits the same dimensions as those obtained in the Spanish population (caloric content of the diet, eating for psychological well-being, physical exercise, alcohol consumption and healthy eating), and their psychometric properties are very similar to those obtained for the original questionnaire.
Conclusion: as a consequence of the adaptation process, a questionnaire with good psychometric properties suitable to measure the lifestyle habits related to overweight and obesity is now available.

Social support and aging: psychometric analysis of the ENRICHD Social Support Instrument in a Chilean population over 50.

Departamento de Psicología. Facultad de Educación, Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile.
Background: Social support is relevant to studying well-being, quality of life, and health during aging, particularly in people over 50. Therefore, brief instruments that allow its measurement within the clinical evaluation and research processes are necessary. The ENRICH Social Support Scale (ESSI) is a brief and easy-to-use instrument that measures the perception of social support; however, its psychometric properties in people over 50 in the Chilean context have yet to be tested.

Purpose: Although many women experience obsessive-compulsive symptoms during the perinatal period, the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) has not yet been psychometrically evaluated in this population. This study examined the internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and factor structure of the YBOCS among pregnant women.
Methods: 256 Women who were 20 to 24 weeks pregnant completed the clinician-administered YBOCS and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) along with a series of self-report questionnaires including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) and Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R).

Introduction: Mental disorders are highly prevalent among children, yet access to timely and effective treatment remains limited. Untreated or poorly managed mental disorders in children are associated with significant functional deterioration and long-term consequences. The validation of reliable assessment tools is crucial for identifying functional impairments and guiding interventions in this population.

Regenstrief Institute, Inc, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Objectives: The End-of-Life Dementia-Comfort Assessment in Dying (EOLD-CAD) scale is one of the few outcome instruments designed to capture symptom burden and well-being among nursing home residents with dementia; however, psychometric evaluations of the EOLD-CAD are limited. Although the instrument is often used to assess outcomes prospectively, it was originally developed and tested as a postmortem assessment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the instrument properties of the EOLD-CAD using staff reports from a large sample of nursing home residents with cognitive impairment prior to death.
