: To assess the family affluence scale (FAS), which consists of self-reported number of computers and cars in the home, having one’s own bedroom and holidays, as a family socioeconomic status (SES) indicator for adolescents in three Latin American countries.
: 14717 secondary students from Argentina, Mexico and Guatemala were surveyed. The association between FAS and other SES indicators at familiar level (parent education and owning of technological goods and services) and school level (marginalization index, public or private school, and school fee) were evaluated.
: FAS was associated in the expected direction with all other NSE indicators. FAS seems to be a valid indicator of the material wealth of adolescent families, as well as of school SES, and it can be used in studies on health inequities in Latin American adolescents.
评估家庭富裕程度量表(FAS),该量表由家庭中电脑和汽车的自我报告数量、拥有自己的卧室以及假期情况组成,作为三个拉丁美洲国家青少年家庭社会经济地位(SES)的指标。
对来自阿根廷、墨西哥和危地马拉的14717名中学生进行了调查。评估了FAS与家庭层面(父母教育程度以及拥有技术产品和服务情况)和学校层面(边缘化指数、公立或私立学校以及学费)的其他SES指标之间的关联。
FAS与所有其他非社会经济地位指标呈预期方向的关联。FAS似乎是青少年家庭物质财富以及学校社会经济地位的有效指标,可用于拉丁美洲青少年健康不平等研究。
