A SPANISH TRANSLATION OF THE REVISED BEHAVIOR PROBLEM CHECKLIST

As a part of a study on the mental health needs of Hispanic children, behavioral assessments were obtained using the Revised Behavior Proble m Checklist (RBPC). Although a Spanish translation was available, it h ad been designed for a primarily Cuban population. Because the populat ion under study was approximately 80% Puerto Rican, 15% Mexican, and 5 % Dominican Republican, a new Spanish version was developed It is sugg ested that future researchers be sensitive to the differences in vocab ulary among Hispanic subcultures.
