Revision of the Multiple Errands Test–Home (MET-Home) for English Speaking Community Dwelling Adults and Stroke Survivors

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 (<i>N</i> = 144) from neurologically healthy participants (<i>n</i> = 44 revised version, <i>n</i> = 34 original) and survivors of stroke (29 revised version, <i>n</i> = 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 (<i>n</i> = 78). MET-Home versions were not statistically different on key outcome scores (<i>p</i> > .05). MET-Home was internally consistent (α = .63 original, α = .80 revised, <i>p</i> = .07). Correlations between MET-Home and external measures were moderate (MoCA: <i>r</i> = .56, <i>p</i> < .001; Barthel: <i>r</i> = .46, <i>p</i> < .001; NEADL: <i>r</i> = .35, <i>p</i> < .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.

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 (<i>N</i> = 144) from neurologically healthy participants (<i>n</i> = 44 revised version, <i>n</i> = 34 original) and survivors of stroke (29 revised version, <i>n</i> = 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 (<i>n</i> = 78). MET-Home versions were not statistically different on key outcome scores (<i>p</i> > .05). MET-Home was internally consistent (α = .63 original, α = .80 revised, <i>p</i> = .07). Correlations between MET-Home and external measures were moderate (MoCA: <i>r</i> = .56, <i>p</i> < .001; Barthel: <i>r</i> = .46, <i>p</i> < .001; NEADL: <i>r</i> = .35, <i>p</i> < .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.
