Discriminant and Criterion Validation of the US-Spanish Version of the SF-36 Health Survey in a Cuban-American Population with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

The US-Spanish version of the SF-36 appears to be valid when used to measure health status in Cuban-American subjects with benign prostatic hyperplasia and in all three culture/language groups.

Abstract

The US-Spanish version of the SF-36 appears to be valid when used to measure health status in Cuban-American subjects with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Further studies should be conducted to verify the validity of the US-Spanish version of the SF-36 for other health conditions.
