ScoringScore the number circled for each item. If more than one consecutive number is circled for one item, code the higher number (more difficulty). If responses are not consecutive, code as blank. Each of the 8 categories is coded as a separate unit (Vestirse y arreglarse/Dressing and grooming, Levantarse/Arising, Comer/Eating, Caminar/Walking, Higiene/Hygiene, Alcanzar/Reach, Agarrar/Grip, Actividades/Activities). Each category's score is the highest score for any of the questions within the category (greatest difficulty). For example, in the "Comer" category, there are three answers (one for each item). If "Cortar su comida con cuchillo y tenedor" is marked as "1", "Levantar hasta su boca una taza o vaso lleno" is marked as "0", and "Abrir un cartón nuevo de leche" is marked as "0", then the score for the "Eating" category would be "1" (the response indicating the greatest difficulty within the category). Each category is coded as above, however, if any "aids or devices" (ayuda o aparato) and/or "help from another person" (ayuda de otra persona) items at the bottom of each page are checked, the category to which they apply is adjusted upward to "2". If the basic score is already "2" or "3", the score remains unchanged. "Aids or devices" and "help from another person" can only change a category's score to "2"; they do not change the score to a "1" or a "3". The categories to which specific devices apply: The score for the disability index is the mean of the eight category scores. If more than two of the categories, or 25%, are missing, do not score the scale. If fewer than 2 of the categories is missing, divide the sum of the categories by the number of answered categories. Alternately, you can score the index without using the aids and devices questions (leaving the aids and devices off the questionnaire). The higher score indicates greater disability. CharacteristicsWe have not tested this scale in Spanish. Source of Psychometric DataWe have not tested this scale in Spanish. CommentsThis is a translation of the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability scale. Reproduced with permission. We have been using the shorter, 8-item adapted HAQ Disability scale in our studies, and have not done testing on the 20-item scale. It should be noted that the items have been chosen as they represent use of every major joint in the body. While closely related to an ADL scale this is not an ADL scale but rather a disability scale.
