目的本研究的目的是检查的心理测量学特性（信度和效度）的参与和环境措施的儿童和青少年（PEM-CY）。方法PEM-CY检查参与频率，参与程度，并改变在一套典型的家庭，学校，或社区的活动的愿望。“环境”部分中的项目检查了每个环境中感知到的参与支持和障碍。数据通过在线调查收集，来自居住在美国和加拿大的5至17岁的儿童和青少年的照顾者，有和没有一系列不同的残疾。照顾者有资格列入，如果（1）他们确定自己作为父母或法律的监护人的孩子谁是调查的重点;（2）他们能够阅读英语;（3）他们的孩子是5和17岁之间的时间enrollment.RESULTS数据从576名受访者。大约一半是残疾儿童的父母，一半多一点来自加拿大。儿童平均年龄为11岁（SD 3.1岁）; 54%为男性，46%为女性。内部一致性在不同量表中为中度至良好（0.59及以上）。在1至4周的时间内，重测信度为中度至良好（0.58及以上）。残疾人和非残疾人群体在所有参与和环境尺度上都存在巨大而显著的差异。虽然有一些显着的年龄差异，他们没有遵循一致的pattern.Interpretation结果支持使用的PEM-CY人口水平的研究，以更好地了解儿童和青少年的参与和环境因素对他们的参与的影响。
AIM The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY).METHOD The PEM-CY examines participation frequency, extent of involvement, and desire for change in sets of activities typical for the home, school, or community. Items in the 'Environment' section examine perceived supports and barriers to participation within each setting. Data were collected via an online survey from caregivers of children and young people, aged 5 to 17 years, with and without a range of different disabilities, residing in the USA and Canada. Caregivers were eligible for inclusion if (1) they identified themselves as a parent or legal guardian of the child who was the focus of the survey; (2) they were able to read English; and (3) their child was between 5 and 17 years old at the time of enrolment.RESULTS Data were obtained from 576 respondents. About half were parents of children with disabilities and a little more than half were from Canada. Child mean age was 11 years (SD 3.1y); 54% were male and 46% were female. Internal consistency was moderate to good (0.59 and above) across the different scales. Test-retest reliability was moderate to good (0.58 and above) across a 1- to 4-week period. There were large and significant differences between the groups with and without disabilities on all participation and environment scales. Although there were some significant age differences, they did not follow a consistent pattern.INTERPRETATION Results support the use of the PEM-CY for population-level studies to gain a better understanding of the participation of children and young people and the impact of environmental factors on their participation.
