PPFQ | 1 study; 1 author group | 12–21 | Internal consistency = 0.83–0.89 | Construct validity | Promising assessment (only used in one peer-reviewed article) |
PHODA-Youth | 1 study; 1 author group | 13–21 | Internal consistency = 0.98 Test–retest reliability (4 weeks) = 0.94 | Construct validity | Well establisheda |
Exploratory factor analysis |
Since the search date of this review, one further author team (Simons et al., 2017) published on the PHODA-Youth in young people with chronic pain, meaning this measure is now well established.
Note. Bath Adolescent Pain Questionnaire = BAPQ; Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children = FOPQ-C; Pain Catastrophizing Scale for Children = PCS-C; Pain Coping Questionnaire internalizing/catastrophizing = PCQ-IC; Pain Response Inventory = PRI; Pediatric Pain Fear Questionnaire = PPFQ; Photograph Series of Daily Activities = PHODA-Youth.
