Shrnutí:Introduction: Adolescence is considered a critical stage prone to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles and thus contributing to the development of diseases in adulthood. This scenario increases the probability for adolescents to be both interested and concerned about body weight management. Important in this context are advice, encouragement, and recommendations on healthy diet to achieve favorable results; this also serves as a type of social support that can be found in virtual environments or social networks. Objective: Design and evaluate the first short-scale reliability analysis to assess the social support perceived by adolescents in social networks for body weight management based on a healthy diet (Phase I). Methodology: A descriptive multi-stage design was used, applied to 32 adolescents, and the reliability of the scale of perceived social support by adolescents in social networks for body weight management based on a healthy diet was designed and assessed. Result: The Cronbach’s alpha demonstrated by the questionnaire was 0.85. Conclusion: The questionnaire demonstrated an acceptable reliability.
