The instrument includes four equally-weighted domains of life participation including leisure, family, work and social activities, scored on a five-point Likert scale that specifies frequency over a one month recall period from never (0) to always (4) with a range of 0 to 4 possible (calculated as a mean of the 4 responses). Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, hypothesis testing, and acceptability were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In total, 179 participants from 16 countries participated.
