To determine the validity and reliability of the Homophobia Scale (HS) in medical students of a university in Bogotá, Colombia, 2010. Method: A validation study was conducted with the participation of 124 students from sixth to tenth semester,
aged between 19 and 34 years old, average 23.7 years (SD=2.7); and 66.1% women and 33.9% men. Results: It was estimated Cronbach alpha and McDonald omega as measures of reliability; and exploratory factor analysis to determine the internal structure of the scale. Cronbach alpha was 0.81; and McDonald omega, 0.82. The internal structure showed a single factor responsible for 49.2% of the total variance.
Conclusion: HS shows good internal consistency and a single factor in medical students from sixth to tenth semester at a university in Bogotá, Colombia. HS measures with acceptable validity and reliability the prejudice toward homosexuals in medical students. This performance allows use in further research.
