| Sumario: | Abstract Objective: To carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of SmokefreeTXT, application used to send quit- smoking texts messages to the Hispanic population living in the United States, to the linguistic and cultural context of Mexico. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was carried out using a qualitative approach, considering theoretical, cultural and grammatical aspects. Focal groups were made and semi-structured interviews were applied to smokers and health professionals. The data collected allowed us to create domains and categories from which an adapted library of messages was integrated. Results: This process made it possible to identify three domains, modify 96 messages and create 9. Most changes were performed in the linguistic domain; the library has a total of 182 text messages. Conclusions: The intervention SmokefreeTXTwas enhanced by making messages more accurate and generating new ones. |
