GAIN-SS INSTRUMENTS FOR ENHANCED CARE CLINICS

 

Chestnut has validated the translation of the GAIN-SS from English into Spanish only. Please keep in mind that the GAIN-SS translations into other languages may be culture-bound and were created to fit the use of a language in a specific region.  We cannot confirm the methodology used to create them, and there may be variation in the response sets used for items or sections (e.g., the responses might be yes/no or contain fewer selections on a recency scale). Therefore, the multi-lingual versions may not match the English version exactly. It may be helpful for GAIN users to keep these factors and variations in mind as they use the translated versions, and to use their discretion when administering and interpreting these versions of the instrument.
