Pilot Testing of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure: Clinical and Measurement Issues
Abstract
The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a measure of a client's self-perception of occupational performance in the areas of self-care, productivity and leisure. The COPM is administered using a semi-structured interview in which the client identifies significant issues in daily activities which are causing difficulty. Extensive pilot testing of the COPM has been completed with 268 clients in communities across Canada and in New Zealand, Greece and Britain. Results indicate the COPM has a median administration time of 30 minutes, is able to identify a wide range of occupational performance issues and appears to be responsive to changes in perception of occupational performance over time. A number of clinical and measurement issues centering around the interview, test construction, scoring, timing of the assessment, respondents, and the assessment process are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
