Translation Information:
The Spanish version of the MEIM was developed by COPAL study team, Principal Investigators Dr. Seth Schwartz, University of Miami, and Jennifer Unger, University of Southern California. A simultaneous translation method was used where translators from Miami and Los Angeles worked independently to translate the measure into Spanish. The two sets of translators then met to resolve discrepancies in the versions. Such a translation method is recommended when the sample will include individuals from different dialect groups (e.g., Mexicans, Cubans, Colombians, Salvadorans).
