^*Standardized regression coefficient (and 95% CI), indicating the change in participation, in SD units, consequent to a change of 1SD in the independent variable. Positive values of b indicate that participation increases with greater availability of environmental items, negative values indicate that participation decreases with increasing severity of impairment and pain.

^†Percent change in variance between models with and without ECEQ domain, constraining Life-H measurement model without ECEQ to be identical to model with ECEQ.
