Rasch analysis of the German translation of both PLUS-M short forms showed good psychometric qualities. In addition, our study showed that test scores from the PLUS-M-12 are more accurate. Therefore, the PLUS-M-12 is recommended for individual-level clinical applications (e.g., classification or change assessment).
