Inseguidad hídrica, Agua, Escalas, Validez, Desarrollo sostenibleResumen
Existen amplios antecedentes sobre las consecuencias de carecer de agua segura en la salud y el bienestar de las poblaciones que justifican la necesidad de avanzar en la construcción de nuevos instrumentos de medición. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la validez de apariencia de la Escala HWISE para medir la inseguridad hídrica en Argentina. Se implementaron cuatro grupos focales con 24 mujeres residentes en localidades vulnerables del Gran Buenos Aires, a las que se les administró la escala. Los resultados reflejan la amplitud de dimensiones del fenómeno en el discurso de las participantes, y la enunciación de los ítems fue comprendida. La escala HWISE representa el fenómeno desde la perspectiva de mujeres en situación de vulnerabilidad social, pero requiere ajustes. Los ítems son entendidos y abarcan la exhaustividad del fenómeno, aunque se identifican áreas para mejorar su precisión.
