Resumen
Objetivo. Evaluar la escala de afluencia familiar (EAF), que consiste en el autorreporte sobre número de computadoras y automóviles del hogar, dormitorio propio y vacaciones, como indicador de nivel socioeconómico (NSE) familiar en adolescentes escolarizados de tres países latinoamericanos. Material y métodos. Fueron encuestados 14 717 estudiantes de secundaria de Argentina, México y Guatemala. Se evaluó la asociación de la EAF con otros indicadores de NSE a nivel familiar (nivel educativo parental, posesión de bienes y servicios tecnológicos) y de entorno escolar (índice de marginación, escuela pública o privada y matrícula escolar). Resultados. La EAF mostró menos datos faltantes que los otros indicadores familiares de NSE. Además, mostró asociaciones en la dirección esperada con los otros indicadores de NSE. Conclusiones. La EAF parece constituir un indicador válido tanto de la riqueza material familiar como del NSE a nivel de la escuela, útil para estudios sobre inequidades en salud en adolescentes latinoamericanos.
Objective. To assess the family affluence scale (FAS), which consists of self-reported number of computers and cars in the home, having one’s own bedroom and holidays, as a family socioeconomic status (SES) indicator for adolescents in three Latin American countries. Materials and methods. 14 717 secondary students from Argentina, Mexico and Guatemala were surveyed. The association between FAS and other SES indicators at familiar level (parent education and owning of technological goods and services) and school level (marginalization index, public or private school, and school fee) were evaluated. Results. The FAS was associated in the expected direction with all other NSE indicators. Conclusions. The FAS seems to be a valid indicator of the material wealth of adolescent families, as well as of school SES, and it can be used in studies on health inequities in Latin American adolescents.
