Construct-concurrent validity and reliability of the European Child Environment Questionnaire (ECEQ) in a sample of Turkish children with cerebral palsy.

CONCLUSION: ECEQ-T has demonstrated good psychometric properties and can be used as a reliable and valid measure to assess environmental factors. We believe that ECEQ-T is a useful and detailed questionnaire to determine barriers-facilitators for increasing activity and participation in Turkish children with CP. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The Turkish version of ECEQ has acceptable construct validity and moderate concurrent validity for evaluating environmental factors in children with cerebral palsy. The Turkish version of ECEQ provides valuable information, which could be helpful to guide public health services and government policies in order to optimize the participation of children with CP. Environmental factors may play an important role in activity and participation in children with cerebral palsy. Turkish version of the ECEQ can be used for evaluating the environmental factors to determine barriers of activity and participation. PMID: 32988240 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
