2) Midpoint Anchor - somewhat |
2) 0 = No change, 10 = back pain does not affect my mood |

Decisions/Rationale |
|
1) Acupuncture Expectancy Scale eliminated – inconsistent meanings of questions |
1) Upper anchor changed to “no back pain” |
1) “How likely (specific outcomes)” was changed to questions of “how much change is expected” |
1) Tested Cherkin/Sherman question “how helpful…” |
1) Eliminated: Think is likely to occur – not as consistent as realistically expect |
1) Use order suggested by survey design expert for self-care questions |
|
2) “Limitations due to back pain” kept for later, not tested in all rounds due to clarity of concept | 2) Ppts prefer same scale throughout questionnaire | 2) Work on Energy as a domain – test “energy level” |
*Key.
Italicized text = eliminated.
Bold italicized text = selected for use in final questionnaire.
E.R. = Expert Review (prior to round 6).
