Se calcularon las medias, la DE, las medianas y los percentiles de las puntuaciones de cada subdi-mensión y dimensión del CHIP-AE para el total de la muestra, y en cada estrato de edad, sexo y NSE. La comparación de las medias se realizó mediante aná-lisis de la varianza. Se utilizaron las pruebas post-hoc (prueba de Scheffé) para comprobar dónde estaban las diferencias9. Las diferencias esperadas según la edad, el sexo y el NSE se definieron a partir de los estudios previos6 y de las hipótesis elaboradas por las autoras originales4,5. Se esperaba que las chicas pre-sentaran puntuaciones más bajas (peores) en la mayo-ría de las subdimensiones y dimensiones del CHIP-AE (satisfacción con la salud, autoestima, bienestar físi-co y emocional y actividad física más bajas). Se es-peraba que los chicos presentaran puntuaciones más bajas (peores) en riesgo individual y amenazas a lo-gros. En cuanto a las diferencias por edad, se espe-raba que los mayores de 15 años presentaran pun-tuaciones más bajas en la mayoría de las dimensiones del CHIP-AE. Para evaluar la consistencia interna del instrumento se calculó el valor alfa de Cronbach10 para cada subdimensión. Para el cálculo de la consisten-cia interna de las dimensiones se utilizó la fórmula de suma de cuadrados. Esta fórmula tiene en cuenta los coeficientes de fiabilidad, así como la varianza de cada subdimensión11.

N2 - AIM: The Child Health and Illness Profile (CHIP-AE) is a generic health status instrument for adolescents aged 12-19 years adapted for use in Spain. The aim of this study was to obtain reference population values of the Spanish version of the CHIP-AE. METHODS: The CHIP-AE was administered to a representative sample of adolescents from schools in Barcelona. The sample was selected by using cluster-sampling, stratified by type of school (public or private) and an ecological socioeconomic index (Indice de Capacidad Familiar: low, middle, and high). The CHIP-AE scores were standardized to a mean of 20 and a standard deviation (SD) of 5. Means and percentiles were computed. Means were compared by age, gender, and socioeconomic status using analysis of variance. RESULTS: The response rate was 81% (n = 902). The distribution of the CHIP-AE scores presented a wide range with scores generally skewed toward positive health status. Nevertheless, the results suggest that the sample selected from a general population was not free of health problems. Twenty-five percent of adolescents presented scores below 17.2 in the domain of discomfort, indicating an effect size of 0.56 standardized SD units. The distribution of scores in the reference samples from Barcelona was similar to the original results in Baltimore (USA), with some marginal differences in individual risks. CONCLUSIONS: The CHIP-AE systematically gathers information on health domains in adolescents. The results from this reference sample will allow comparisons with adolescents from other regions, and/or with different health problems, as well as description of inequalities in health during adolescence.
