Cultural and contextual adaptation of the Solastalgia subscale of the Environmental Distress Scale in drought-affected Kilifi, Kenya by Syed Shabab Wahid, Linda Norah Khakali, Felix Agoi, Benjamin Oestericher, Emily Mendenhall, Edna N. Bosire

“…Our objective was to conduct a transcultural translation and cultural adaptation (TTA) of the Solastalgia subscale of the Environmental Distress Scale (EDS-Solastalgia) in Kilifi, Kenya, which is undergoing transformational changes due to climate change. Methods We conducted 5 expert interviews, 2 Focus Group Discussions (n = 22) and 10 cognitive interviews to solicit feedback on the EDS along the following cultural equivalency domains: Comprehensibility (Semantic equivalence); Relevance (Content equivalence); Response set (Technical equivalence) and Completeness (Semantic, criterion and conceptual equivalence). …”
