Results
The Multitrait/Multi-Item Analysis Program-Revised (MAP-R) was used to evaluate the
psychometric properties of the PAHD. The findings support the convergent and discriminant
validity of the subscales. Construct validity was confirmed by factor analysis and Cronbach’s
alpha supported a strong internal consistency for BK (0.83) and FC (0.84).
Conclusion
Preliminary testing suggests that the PAHD is a psychometrically sound scale capable of
assessing psychosocial adjustment. We conclude that the PAHD may be a valuable
monitoring tool to identify individuals and families who may require therapeutic
interventions.
