OBJECTIVE: To assess parent-child agreement of child disability and pain. METHODS: Twenty children with juvenile chronic arthritis aged between 8 and 16 years and their mothers were assessed using a recently developed measure of child disability and pain. RESULTS: Results demonstrated a high level of agreement between children and their mothers with respect to disability. However, there was no correlation between the children's and their mothers' assessment of pain. CONCLUSION: This suggests that parents of children with chronic arthritis give accurate information regarding disability, but not regarding pain.
