Spanish term or phrase: contrastes de asociación
Análisis estadístico
Las variables cualitativas se expresaron en porcentajes y se analizaron los contrastes de asociación mediante el test de Chi Cuadrado (χ2) o, en su defecto, el test de Fisher.

I don't think of Chi-square as a test of association contrasts, but maybe differences in association? Not sure how to best phrase it. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Explanation:
I'd just say "contrasts" here. Independent contrasts are used to test for associations traits.

disagree  DLyons: The link you give is irrelevant. It mentions chi-sq as a test of "discrepancy" (in lay terms) of theoretical from empirical distribution. The Fisher exact test is completely different.
