In this context, the present study aims to elaborate and validate of the content a questionnaire for evaluation of the motivation for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and obesity. This is a cross-sectional, methodological study with descriptive and explanatory objectives, which used bibliographical research and the survey as technical procedures and the quantitative data analysis approach. The preparation and validation of the questionnaire were conducted in five stages, for which two systematic reviews were carried out.

The same was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus and LILACS databases, in the Portuguese, Spanish or English languages, without restriction regarding the period of publication, using the descriptors questionnaire, scale, instrument, evaluation, motivation, motive, reason, "lose weight ", "losing weight", "weight loss" and slimming. This first systematic review included six studies and contributed to the selection of domains for the questionnaire. The second systematic review was conducted with the objective of identifying the motivations for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and/or obesity. The virtual search was performed in the LILACS, PubMed, ADOLEC and Scopus databases, using the descriptors motivation, motive, reason, "weight loss", "lose weight" and adolescent.

This second systematic review included six studies and provided the 17 items for the initial version of the questionnaire. The most frequent motivations in the studies were: to have better health, to improve my appearance, to improve my self-esteem, to avoid provocations/bullying, to be healthier, to have a good physical body, to be accepted by my friends and classmates and to wear clothes "normal size"/ "more elegant". The evaluation of the content validity was attested by a committee of 12 specialists, composed of nutritionists, endocrinologists, psychologists and physical educators. Based on expert evaluations, the content validity index (CVI) was calculated. After the evaluation of the content validity by the 12 specialists, five motivations were excluded because they presented CVI <0.80 for practical relevance. Of the 12 items kept in the questionnaire, five items were reviewed and submitted for evaluation by the specialists, in order to standardize the writing and make the language more appropriate for adolescents, the target audience of the questionnaire. The twelve items held in the instrument were categorized by experts in the areas of health, personal satisfaction, social, and appearance.
