- | The HHIA and HHIE both contain the following 8 items: 5 'emotional' items (2a/b/e/i/k) and 3 'social/situational' items (2f/j/l). Furthermore, the HHIA contains 2 specific 'social/situational' items (2d/h) and the HHIE contains 2 alternative 'social/situational' items (2c/g).\\ | + | The HHIA contains 10 questions: 5 'emotional' items (2a/b/e/i/k) and 5 'social/situational' items (2d/f/h/j/l).\\ |
- | Although each adult participant (including elderly participants) received all 12 (8+2+2) HHIA/HHIE items, participants between 18-64 years old should be scored using only the 10 HHIA items (2a/b/d/e/f/h/i/j/k/l), and participants of 65 years and older should be scored using only the 10 HHIE items (2a/b/c/e/f/g/i/j/k/l). | + | The HHIE contains the same 10 questions, except that two of the 'social/situation' items are replaced by items that fit better with the elderly target group (2d -> 2c, and 2h -> 2g). |

- | Scoring works as follows: participants indicated for all 10 items to what extent it was applicable to their life: yes (4 points), no (0 points), or sometimes (2 points). Adding up all the points for the 10 relevant/age-appropriate items results in the following sum scores: | + | Scoring works as follows:\\ |
+ | Participants indicated for all 12 items (8 overlapping HHIA/E items + 2 HHIA-specific items + 2 HHIE-specific items) to what extent it was applicable to their life: yes (4 points), no (0 points), or sometimes (2 points).\\ | ||
+ | Since the scoring is validated for only 10 items, researchers must decide whether they want to score the HHIA (8 overlapping items + 2 HHIA-specific items) or the HHIE (8 overlapping questions + 2 HHIE-specific items) for a given participant. | ||
+ | Adding up all the points for the resulting set of 10 age-appropriate items gives the following sum scores: | ||
* 0-8 = no self-perceived handicap | * 0-8 = no self-perceived handicap | ||
* 10 to 24 = mild to moderate handicap | * 10 to 24 = mild to moderate handicap |
