We are conducting a research project to evaluate participation in daily activities at home, school, community and the workplace, using a questionnaire called the Y-PEM (Youth and Young Adult Participation and Environment). We need your assistance to test whether the Y-PEM can capture youth and young adult's participation and whether it is valid and consistent.
