Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation (CASP)
Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation (CASP)
| Availability |
Please visit this website for more information about the instrument: Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation
|
| Classification |
Supplemental: Mitochondrial Disease (Mito) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Exploratory: Cerebral Palsy (CP), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)-Pediatric, and Sport-Related Concussion (SRC) Subacute (after 72 hours to 3 months) and Persistent/Chronic (3 months and greater post-concussion)
|
| Short Description of Instrument |
The CASP is a parent/guardian report that was designed to identify factors that influence a child's participation in activities in multiple settings including home, school and community. The measure has 20 items which address social and leisure activities, school activities, independent and daily living activities.
The instrument is appropriate for use with children ages 3-21 years.
The CASP is completed by the parent/guardian and takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
|
| Scoring |
Twenty items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. A score on a 100-point scale is generated by summing the scores, dividing the sum by the sum of all applicable items, and multiplying by 100. Higher scores indicate greater age-expected participation. Subsection scores can also be determined.
|
| Rationale/Justification |
"The CASP has been used in studies with children and youth with TBI in the U.S. and worldwide." - McCauley et al. 2012
The utility of the CASP for sport-related concussion is not clear. The CASP has been used in one study of pediatric concussion (not sport-related concussion specific) and did not discriminate between youth with concussion and youth with orthopedic injury.
