Being fearful of crime is, unfortunately, a common experience. Research shows that many factors influence a person’s fear of crime, demonstrating that certain groups are generally more fearful than others. Even though they are typically young, college students express being fearful of crime on and off campus. What has yet to be investigated is whether college students who attend school in the United States are fearful at similar levels to their Canadian counterparts. Further, the correlates of fear of crime may also be different. To explore these issues, data from the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment II survey of U.S. and Canadian college students are used. Results show that Canadian college students generally perceive their safety as being higher than U.S. college students, even though they face elevated victimization risks. Further, some correlates of fear of crime differ for U.S. and Canadian college students. These findings suggest the need for additional cross-national comparative work to see if patterns generalize across contexts.

O objetivo do estudo foi realizar as equivalências semântica e conceitual do questionário National College Health Assessment II (NCHA II). Foram realizadas tradução para o português da versão original do NCHA II e retrotradução para o inglês. As versões do questionário foram analisadas por um comitê de juízes. A versão traduzida do NCHA II foi administrada experimentalmente em amostra de 64 estudantes universitários de ambos os sexos. Após discretas modificações apontadas nos processos de tradução, o comitê de juízes considerou que a versão para o idioma português do NCHA II apresentou equivalências semântica e conceitual. As etapas iniciais do processo de adaptação transcultural do questionário NCHA II foram satisfatórias. Porém, futuros estudos são necessários para identificar propriedades psicométricas e indicadores de validação previamente à sua efetiva recomendação para uso com segurança.
