title: A Spanish translation of the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist.
abstract: As part of a study on the mental health needs of Hispanic children, behavioral assessments were obtained using the Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC). Although a Spanish translation was available, it had been designed for a primarily Cuban population. Because the population under study was approximately 80% Puerto Rican, 15% Mexican, and 5% Dominican Republican, a new Spanish version was developed. It is suggested that future researchers be sensitive to the differences in vocabulary among Hispanic subcultures.
