The Community Integration Measure (CIM) is a new, reliable tool for assessing community integration. It demonstrates strong psychometric properties and is easy to administer.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Psychology
  • Psychometrics
  • Community Psychology

Background:

  • Community integration is crucial for individuals with disabilities.
  • Existing measures may lack comprehensive psychometric validation.
  • A need exists for a brief, reliable measure of community integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Community Integration Measure (CIM).
  • Evaluate the preliminary psychometric properties of the CIM.
  • Provide a validated tool for assessing community integration.

Main Methods:

  • A validation study was conducted.
  • Ninety-two participants were included: brain injury survivors, their significant others, and college students.
  • Psychometric properties assessed included reliability, content, discriminant, concurrent, and construct validity.

Main Results:

  • The CIM demonstrated a robust 1-factor structure explaining 44.1% of variance.
  • Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha) was .87.
  • The CIM showed strong evidence for content, discriminant, concurrent, and construct validity.

Conclusions:

  • The Community Integration Measure (CIM) is a psychometrically sound instrument.
  • It is a brief and easily administered measure of community integration.
  • The CIM aligns with an empirically derived theoretical model.
