Development and validation of MyCommunication—Adults, a self‐report communicative participation measure
What is already known on the subject The CPIB was developed to measure communicative participation in community-dwelling adults with communication problems. The item bank does not cover all domains and concepts of communicative participation, contains general communication items and not all questions seem to be relevant for specific target groups (e.g., hearing population). What this paper adds to the existing knowledge This study presents a refined description of the construct of communicative participation and the development of a new comprehensive PROM aimed at measuring this construct for all adults with communication difficulties. The development of the PROM is based on a previously conducted literature review and concept elicitation study. This study describes the development process of this new PROM, called MyCommunication-Adults, and the assessment of its content validity. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? The refined description of the construct of communicative participation can be used for participation-focused goal-setting between individuals with communication problems and speech and language therapists.
