Abstract

The aim of the study was to perform the translation and cross-cultural validation of the Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ) questionnaire for Brazilian adolescents. The following steps were taken: (1) translation of the original questionnaire from English to Portuguese; (2) resolution of discrepancies between version 1 and version 2 and creation of a synthesis version; (3) back-translation from Portuguese to English; (4) review and evaluation by an expert committee, construction of the pre-test version; and (5) pre-testing with comprehension assessment by a sample (n = 30) of the target population. The final version of the BBAQ comprises 21 questions. The questionnaire was considered easy to understand by 70,0% of adolescents, while the remaining 30,0% rated the questionnaire’s understanding and comprehension difficulty as moderate. None of the participants rated the questionnaire as difficult to understand. The average time for completing the BBAQ was 11 minutes (CI 95% = 9 – 12). The overall Cronbach’s Alpha value, based on the standardized questionnaire items, was 0.86. The study presented satisfactory evidence of validity and reliability. Therefore, we recommend the use of the cross-cultural adaptation of the BBAQ for assessing barriers to physical activity among Brazilian adolescents.
