      abstract = {Purpose: To investigate the psychometric properties of a  Chinese-translated version of the Young Children’s  Participation and Environment Measure. Materials and  methods: The Young Children’s Participation and Environment  Measure was translated into Chinese using cultural  adaptation by adding/replacing with activities relevant to  Chinese culture. Parents of 53 children aged 2–5 years with  developmental disabilities and of 50 typical developing  children completed the questionnaires. Internal  consistency, test–retest reliability, known-group validity,  and discriminant validity were examined using Cronbach’s  alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient, Mann–Whitney U  tests, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients  respectively. Results: Internal consistency was acceptable  for most scales (α = 0.42–0.89). Test–retest reliability of  the summary scores was moderate to high for all scales  (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.65−0.90).  Known-group validity was supported by demonstrating  significant differences by disability status in all  community participation scales, two daycare/preschool  participation scales, and one home participation scale. Low  or negative correlations between the scores of some scales  and children’s cognition (ρ = 0.27–0.32; –0.36–to–0.35) and  parental stress (ρ = –0.42–to–0.31) supported discriminant  validity. Conclusion: This study provided psychometric  evidence supporting the use of the Young Children’s  Participation and Environment Measure to assess Chinese  children’s participation and environmental support.},
