Abstract
Background
The Questionnaire of Young People's Participation (QYPP) was developed for use in children and adolescents. To track participation throughout transition from childhood to adulthood, we adapted it for young adults using focus groups. Aim of this study was to validate this measure, the QYPP–Young Adults (QYPP-YA).
Methods
We recruited young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and a representative, same-aged sample of the general population (GP). The GP-sample was split into two equivalent subsamples, one part to identify the factor structure via exploratory factor analysis and another part to test the resulting model via confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability and different forms of validity were investigated.
Results
The final QYPP-YA includes 17 items assigned to six domains (Autonomy, Independency, Intimate Relationships, Interpersonal Relationships, Social Life, Online Communication). Scales show satisfying internal consistencies in the CP-sample and in the GP-sample, except for ‘Online Communication’. Convergent, divergent and known-group validity were confirmed.
Conclusions
The QYPP-YA instrument features promising psychometric characteristics to assess key domains of participation in healthy and disabled young adults. It provides a multidimensional, economic and sound assessment for use in population surveys and clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
