Item Rasch Validation of the Revised Body Awareness Rating Questionnaire (BARQ-R) in Adults with Musculoskeletal Pain, Adults with SCI Related Neuropathic Pain, and Community Dwelling Adults in the US(2024-04-19) Carpentier, Sydney; Deng, Wei; Blackwood, Jena; Van de Winckel, Ann; avandewi@umn.edu; Van de Winckel, Ann; Brain Body Mind LabThe study aim was to establish Rasch validation of the Revised Body Awareness Rating Questionnaire (BARQ-R) in adults with musculoskeletal pain, community-dwelling adults without pain, and adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have neuropathic pain. The BARQ-R has 12 items with scores ranging from 0 (completely disagree) to 3 (completely agree). Through Rasch analysis, we evaluated unidimensionality through item and person fit, targeting of the population, person separation reliability (PSR), local item dependence (LID), and principal components analysis of residuals (PCAR).Item Vitamin D Deficiency(2010-07-29) Nio, KusumaSymptomatic vitamin D deficiency has become increasingly prevalent particularly among the Somali immigrant group living in the Twin Cities Area.
