Foi realizada análise quantitativa metodológica, transversal e não experimental em duas fases: adaptação cultural do HNNE, ampliada e resumida, e avaliação da confiabilidade da versão brasileira do HNNE. A primeira fase foi desenvolvida em cinco etapas (tradução inicial, síntese da tradução, comitê de especialistas, retrotradução e submissão ao autor), sendo avaliadas as questões semânticas, conteúdo e validade de face.
