Abstract
We revised 2/14 items on the Multiple Errands Test-Home (MET-Home). We compared the original and the revision and accounted for clinical/demographic covariates of interest. Archival data (N = 144) from neurologically healthy participants (n = 44 revised version, n = 34 original) and survivors of stroke (29 revised version, n = 37 original) were analyzed. We calculated internal consistency and assessed external validity via correlations with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Barthel Index, and Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living scale (NEADL). We provided preliminary reference data (n = 78). MET-Home versions were not statistically different on key outcome scores (p > .05). MET-Home was internally consistent (α = .63 original, α = .80 revised, p = .07). Correlations between MET-Home and external measures were moderate (MoCA: r = .56, p < .001; Barthel: r = .46, p < .001; NEADL: r = .35, p < .001). The revised MET-Home is not statistically different to the original and is just as internally consistent, and we have further evidence of the test's validity. We caution the lack of comprehensive (age and education corrected) normative data.
期刊介绍:
Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
