  • Title: Measuring individual participation on the interdisciplinary team.
    Author: Bailey DB, Helsel-DeWert M, Thiele JE, Ware WB.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1983 Nov; 88(3):247-54. PubMed ID: 6650575.
    Abstract:
    In this paper we describe a scale designed to measure individual participation in interdisciplinary team meetings. Data from an observational study of team meetings at a residential institution for severely and profoundly mentally retarded persons were used to examine the measurement characteristics of the scale. Acceptable levels of interobserver agreement were found. A principal components analysis demonstrated that participation is not a unitary construct, but consists of at least five relatively independent dimensions. A generalizability study indicated that participation varies across team meetings and suggested that at least two observations are needed to obtain an adequate picture of typical participation. A sample application of the scale was described, and implications of the scale for researchers and practitioners were discussed.
