Translation and cross-cultural validation of the Flourishing and Secure Flourishing Indexes into Brazilian Portuguese.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveFlourishing, a holistic concept encompassing multiple domains of well-being, has gained significant interest in recent years. However, validated tools for measuring flourishing, mainly using VanderWeele's framework, remain unavailable for Brazilian Portuguese-speaking populations. This article describes the translation into Brazilian Portuguese, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the resulting versions of the Flourishing Index (FI) and Secure Flourishing Index (SFI).
methodsThe instruments were translated and adapted following international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures. In Study 1, psychometric properties were examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in a general-population sample (n=359). Construct validity was assessed by correlating FI/SFI scores with quality of life, depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic growth. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in a sample of individuals with moderate depressive symptoms (n=252) to confirm the factor structure. Reliability and validity were evaluated in both samples.
resultsEFA identified a five-factor structure for the FI and a six-factor structure for the SFI, consistent with prior studies. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.60 to 0.86, supporting internal consistency. CFA confirmed the multidimensional structures with appropriate fit indices (root-mean-square error of approximation [RMSEA] < 0.08, standardized root-mean-square residual [SRMR] < 0.08). Construct validity analyses demonstrated significant correlations between FI/SFI and mental health, quality of life, and posttraumatic growth.
conclusionThe Brazilian Portuguese versions of the FI and SFI demonstrated appropriate psychometric properties, enabling comprehensive assessments of flourishing in diverse contexts. These validated tools can now be used to support flourishing research and intervention evaluation in Brazil.
