Abstract: The Protective Factors Survey, 2nd Edition (PFS-2) is a validated self-report measure of family-level protective factors against child abuse and neglect that is widely used for program evaluation. To increase its utility to more families and practitioners, the PFS-2 has been translated from English to Spanish. This article provides an overview of the method, including translation and initial results of the Spanish Protective Factor Survey, 2nd Edition (SPFS-2). Using a Qualtrics panel sample (N = 617), we field tested the SPFS-2 with Spanish-speaking respondents from July to August 2019. The findings from this study suggest that the SPFS-2 functions in a similar manner as the PFS-2. Future research seeks to gather feedback from programs serving Spanish-speaking families to revise the tool, and collect data on the SPFS-2 through a field test with the intended population of caregivers participating in services.
