Abstract

Introduction: The Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY) is an instrument that assesses the participation and environment of these individuals in the home, school and community contexts through the perception of their parents and / or caregivers. Objective: To culturally adapt PEM-CY into Brazilian Portuguese. Method: The process of cross-cultural adaptation was composed of five stages: (I) Initial adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese; (II) Synthesis of the versions; (III) Back translation; (IV) Committee of experts; (V) Parent understanding and back-translation for final approval. Results: The implemented adaptations aimed to promote fluency in reading, as well as to facilitate the interpretation and comprehension of the questionnaire. The title has been changed and some terms have been replaced in the survey instructions. More examples have been added to some activities of the participation and environment sections, and some words have been changed to match the popular language. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of PEM-CY provides an innovative instrument for evaluating the participation and environment of children and young people that can be used in different practice and research scenarios.
