Background: Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have a range of health care needs that can influence their integration and their academic life. Early identification of CSHCN is essential for family and school health teams to plan better health care and promote school inclusion.
Objective: To translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Children with Special Health Care Needs Screener (CSHCN Screener) for the Portuguese population.
Methodology: Methodological study including translation and semantic and cultural adaptation. A total of 390 parents of children from the northern region of Portugal participated in the study.
Results: The Portuguese version consists of 14 items. The panel of experts and the parents of CSHCN considered the instrument to be acceptable, understandable, and with content validity. The CSHCN Screener took about one minute to complete or self-complete.
Conclusion: The Portuguese version of the CSHCN Screener proves to be a valid and reliable tool for identifying CSHCN.
