It has been widely used in English and used in initial studies in Spanish but a full validation study has not yet been published. We report a validation study of the Spanish-language CAPS, conducted in both Spain and Colombia to cover both European and Latin American Spanish. The Spanish-language version of the CAPS was produced through back translation with slight modifications made for local dialects. In Spain, 329 non-clinical participants completed the CAPS along with 40 patients with psychosis. In Colombia, 190 non-clinical participants completed the CAPS along with 21 patients with psychosis. Participants completed other psychometric scales measuring psychosis-like experience to additionally test convergent and divergent validity. The Spanish-language CAPS was found to have good internal reliability. Test-retest reliability was slightly below the cut-off, although could only be tested in the Spanish non-clinical sample. The scale showed solid construct validity and a principal components analysis broadly replicated previously reported three component factor structures for the CAPS.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AdolescentAdultAgedAged, 80 and overColombiaCross-Sectional StudiesFemaleHallucinationsHumansLanguageMaleMiddle AgedPrincipal Component AnalysisPsychometricsPsychotic DisordersSelf ReportSpainTranslationsYoung Adultresearch article30840703open access10.1371/journal.pone.02134251932-6203PMC6402668https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0213425&type=printablehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6402668/pdf
