Pain QuestionsDo you have frequent pain?
Do you use medication for pain?
If yes: In the past 3 months, how often did you have pain? Some days, most days, or every day?
Thinking about the last time you had pain, how long did the pain last? Some of the day, most of the day, or all of the day?

Pain Questions
Thinking about the last time you had pain, how much pain did you have, a little, a lot, or somewhere in between a little and a lot?
If somewhere in between: Would you say the amount of pain was closer to a little, closer to a lot, or exactly in the middle? Thinking about the last time you had pain, was the pain worse than usual, better than usual, or about the same as usual?
![Page 4: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Pain FindingsMedication questions• Respondents varied in what they counted as pain
medication
• Some respondents asked what they should count
• Interpretations:– Western vs. traditional or alternative medicine– Over-the-counter vs. prescription– Ointments vs. ingested tablets
![Page 5: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pain FindingsFrequency Questions• Interpretations
– Multiple types of physical pain: • long term injury, “usual pain,” back pain from chair,
disease-related, sore muscles from overwork, rash
– Two cases mentioned emotional pain– Many different parts of the body: back, knees,
eye, hand, kidneys, toothache, headache, common cold
![Page 6: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pain FindingsFrequency Questions• Interpretations
– Some respondents asked what this meant and how was this different from chronic or constant pain
– Interpretations of frequent appeared to varyExamples: Constant, Everyday, Every week, Every time it rains
![Page 7: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pain FindingsFrequency Questions• Variation among respondents regarding whether or
not they report their pain (the question is not consistently screening respondents into the pain section)
• Variation appears to relate to:– R’s interpretation of ‘frequent’– R’s belief in whether the pain warrants being reported– Whether R believes their pain is ‘usual’ and whether R
believes the question is asking about ‘usual pain’– Whether R believed their pain was intense enough to report
![Page 8: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pain FindingsHow Long Question• Little information; difficult to make solid conclusions
• Some respondents are not considering ‘the last time’
• Some evidence Rs have difficulty estimating how long the pain lasted
• Possibility that response categories are not clearly distinct to Rs
![Page 9: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pain FindingsHow Much Question• Little information; difficult to make solid conclusions
• Unlike previous question, there is some evidence that Rs understand the response categories as a scale
• No evidence that ‘somewhere in between a little and a lot’ is a problem
![Page 10: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pain Findings
Thinking about the last time-- how often did you have pain• Not enough information
Thinking about the last time—how long did the pain last• Little information; difficult to make solid conclusions
• Possible difficulty for Rs to compare episodes and think in trends, especially if pain is not discrete
![Page 11: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Summary of Pain Cognitive Findings
• Lack of evidence – limits understanding of response process
• Interpretive variation (which may be related to socio-cultural factors)
• Frequency question is problematic for screening Rs into the domain
• Use of pain medication is problematic
![Page 12: PAIN](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081604/5681306c550346895d964bf3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Revisions for Field Test Questionnaire
Lack of information: use field test to fill in gaps
Interpretive variation: use field test to examine comparability
Screener question: added an additional question for screening
Pain medication: eliminated

Communication Questions
Using your usual language, do you have difficulty communicating, for example understanding or being understood?
Do people have difficulty understanding you when you speak?
If Yes: Do you use any of these forms of communication?a. sign language? b. hand writing? c. typed or text messages? d.
communication or picture board or cards? e. computer assisted communication device? f. an interpreter? g. other? (specify: ________)

Communication Findings
• Interpretations– Physical problem with mouth or tongue– Hearing-related– Interpersonal difficulties: shy, talk-too-fast,
parent/spouse won’t listen– Language differences: speak different dialect,
speak different language (particular problem for multi-language contexts)

Communication Field TestUsing your usual language, do you have difficulty communicating,
for example understanding or being understood? Do people have difficulty understanding you when you speak?
Is this difficulty:Because you sometimes feel shy or have trouble expressing
yourself?Because of a physical problem with your mouth or tongue?Because you need to understand other languages or different
ways of speaking?Because you sometimes talk too fast?Because you have trouble hearing?
