Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Psychometrically sound instruments are needed to accurately track treatment effectiveness and assess quality of patient care. The Disablement in Physically Active Scale Short Form-10 (DPAS-10) was developed as a more parsimonious version of the DPA Scale to assess disablement in the physically active. Psychometric assessment of the DPAS-10 has not been completed; specifically, scale properties must be assessed in a sample of individuals who only respond to the 10-item scale at multiple time points. OBJECTIVES: To assess the psychometric properties of the DPAS-10 using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and invariance procedures across multiple time points. METHODS: Confirmatory factor analyses and longitudinal invariance tests were conducted. RESULTS: The DPAS-10 met contemporary fit index recommendations and demonstrated longitudinal invariance; however, localized fit issues suggest further modification is needed. CONCLUSION: Adoption of the DPAS-10 into widespread clinical practice and research is not recommended until further psychometric testing and scale modification is performed. © by the National Athletic Trainers' Association, Inc.
