| Observations | |
| 1. RELIABILITY | |
| A. Internal Consistency | Not Tested |
| Cronbach's (Describe) | |
| B. Reliability intraobserver or test-retest | Tested |
| Continuous scores: intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) Dichotomus: Cohen kappa (Describe) |
In a study evaluating test-retest reliability, patients completed the MBM and then returned to the clinic for a retest 1 to 2 weeks later. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and dependent samples t-test were used to assess the test-retest reliability of the MBM. Half of respondents had zero or one discrepant body areas between the two administrations. Percentage agreement for each body part from first administration to second ranged from 85% to 100%. The correlation between total number of body areas checked at each administration was positive and statistically significant. The time to complete the MBM was similar between the initial and follow-up administrations 1 to 2 weeks later |
| C. Reliability interobserver or Measurement error | Not Tested |
| Standard error of measurement (SEM), smallest detectable change (SDC) or Limits of agreement (LoA) (Describe) |
|
| 2. VALIDITY | |

| Expert opinion (relevance and comprehensiveness) (Describe) |
|
| B. Construct Validity: Structural validity |
Not Tested |
| Hypotheses-testing | Tested |
| Cross-cultural validity | Not Tested |
| Brief Description | |
| C. Criterion validity | Not Tested |
