Cultural adaptation, translation and validation of the conflict in adolescence dating relationship inventory (CADRI) in the Greek language

Background: In an age where the well-being and rights of the youth are increasingly recognized, the scourge of dating violence (DV) represents a significant challenge to public health, demanding attention and action. The Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationship Inventory (CADRI), a cornerstone in this fight, is the premier international resource for gauging DV. The introduction of a Greek translation embarks a pivotal step towards inclusivity, ensuring that vital resources are accessible across cultural boundaries. This endeavor not only highlights the importance of cultural adaptation in tools for combating youth violence but also aligns with broader movements towards social justice and the protection of vulnerable communities.

Background: Dating violence (DV) is an acknowledged problem within our societies, impacting young individuals deeply. The Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationship Inventory (CADRI) stands as the leading instrument globally for measuring DV's prevalence and nature. The development of its Greek language version represents a strategic enhancement of our toolkit to combat this issue, reflecting a commitment to tradition and moral values through culturally adapted resources. This move not only exemplifies the importance of community and family in addressing youth challenges but also underscores a pragmatic approach to societal issues, empowering local educators and authorities to take substantiated action against DV.
