We validated a Spanish\u2010language adaptation of the LGBTQ+ Caregiver Acceptance Scale (LCAS\u2010S) to assess culturally grounded expressions of acceptance and rejection among Spanish\u2010speaking Latinx caregivers of LGBTQ+ youth. Following procedures from the LCAS development study, the 40\u2010item measure was translated and back\u2010translated using established guidelines to ensure linguistic and conceptual equivalence. A total of 256 Spanish\u2010speaking Latinx caregivers participated, representing 15 countries of origin; the largest groups were born in the United States (46%), Mexico (20%), Puerto Rico (12%), and Cuba (6%). Scale validation included internal consistency reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent validity testing with established measures of caregiver acceptance, family functioning, and homonegativity. The LCAS\u2010S demonstrated strong overall reliability (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.89) and yielded a six\u2010factor structure: Concealment and Respeto, Supportive Actions, Public Opinion, Fear of Family Rejection, Affirming the LGBTQ+ Child's Place in the Family, and Outness. The factor structure both overlapped with and diverged meaningfully from the English version. Convergent validity patterns aligned with theoretical expectations, with restrictive dimensions correlating positively with family conflict and homonegativity and affirming dimensions correlating positively with acceptance\u2010related constructs. Findings provide preliminary empirical support for the LCAS\u2010S as a culturally and linguistically responsive tool for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand and promote acceptance among Spanish\u2010speaking Latinx caregivers of LGBTQ+ youth in the United States.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jora.70254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T09:26:30Z","timestamp":1787131590000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bridging language and culture: The\n                    <scp>LGBTQ<\/scp>\n                    Caregiver Acceptance Scale's Spanish (\n                    <scp>LCAS<\/scp>\n                    \u2010S) translation and validation among Latinx caregivers"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6596-1078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aldo M.","family":"Barrita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Michigan State University  East Lansing Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1305-2152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto L.","family":"Abreu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Florida  Gainesville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7203-6497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexa","family":"Parra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Administration Nicklaus Children's Hospital  Miami Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5275-7094","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristal\u00eds Capielo","family":"Rosario","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Counseling and Counseling Psychology Arizona State University  Tempe Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5499-6152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kirsten A.","family":"Gonzalez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Neuroscience University of Tennessee, Knoxville  Knoxville Tennessee USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6610-6890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melanie Domenech","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Utah State University  Logan Utah USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5827-1389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karina A.","family":"Gattamorta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Health Studies University of Miami  Coral Gables Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/hea0001455"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/fam0001122"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/fam0001320"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1550428X.2019.1672232"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jad.12139"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-031-38977-1_4"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00918369.2025.2496200"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/cou0000813"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare12181865"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02791072.2026.2661582"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/lgbt.2024.0396"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jora.70247"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mhs2.70009"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632\u2010200012150\u201000014"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/135910457000100301"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_17_1","volume-title":"The unique challenges of surveying U.S. Latinos","author":"Brown A.","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/bul0000336"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0016071"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0028694"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2024.1956"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_22_1","unstructured":"El Centro \u2014 University of Miami.
