BACKGROUND: The Bournemouth questionnaire is a multidimensional instrument for evaluating health domains among patients with low back pain. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Bournemouth ques-tionnaire for individuals with low back pain, to Brazilian Portuguese. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Federal University of São Carlos. METHODS: The Brazilian version of the Bournemouth questionnaire was developed following the pro-cesses of translation, back-translation, committee review and pre-testing. The translation phase involved two independent bilingual translators whose mother language was Brazilian Portuguese. The back-trans-lation phase involved two independent translators whose mother language was English. In order to verify comprehension of the questionnaire, 44 individuals (43.1% men) with low back pain, and with mean age of 45.4 ± 13.8 years, participated in the pre-testing phase. RESULTS: During the translation phase, some terms and expressions were changed to obtain cultural equivalence to the original Bournemouth questionnaire. In the pre-testing phase, each item of the ques-tionnaire showed a comprehension level of over 90%. CONCLUSION: The Bournemouth questionnaire was translated and culturally adapted to the Portuguese language, to be used among individuals with low back pain.
