N2 - The aim of this study was to report translation and transcultural adaptation of the Chinese version of the 12-item scale of economic abuse (C-SEA-12) and evaluate its psychometric properties. Forward translation, backward translation followed by consensus meeting with expert committees were done to create the Chinese version. Then, the translated C-SEA-12 was validated on 399 Chinese adults from a territory-wide household survey in Hong Kong. A second-order factor model of C-SEA-12 was demonstrated with adequate goodness of fit (root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] =.05, comparative fit index [CFI] =.99, Tucker–Lewis Index [TLI] =.98, SRMR =.03) through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability (Cronbach's α coefficient =.92) and validity were satisfactory. The C-SEA-12 was demonstrated to be a reliable and valid measurement to assess economic abuse in Chinese population.
