This similarity may explain the high reproducibility of self-care item assessments between independent evaluators in our study.
While it is hard to know if single item assessments are under-estimating the prevalence or if the behavioural assessments are inflating rates, an assessment bias clearly exists.
The results confirmed that while behaviour based assessments yield higher prevalence estimates than single item assessments, the mean prevalence of NSSI within multi-item assessments (M = 23.6; SD = 8.3) did not significantly differ from DSH rates (M = 31.4; SD = 14.9) estimated with multi-item measures, t (5) = 1.29, p >.25.
A similar pattern is found within the DSH studies, with single item assessments reporting an average prevalence estimate of 12.2% (SD = 5.6) compared to a prevalence of 31.4% (SD = 14.9) found for behavioural check-list surveys.
This study provides evidence supporting construct validity of the IPAQ in subjects being treated with hGH, where subscale and total IPAQ scores were moderately or strongly, significantly related to "overall ease of use" item assessments for each injection pen.
For example, prevalence estimates for NSSI are close to doubled when behavioural check-list measures are used compared to single item questions; and DSH rates using behavioural-based assessment are nearly three-times higher than single item assessments.
