First stage psychometric testing of a new instrument for adolescents with visual impairment: the Participation and Activity Inventory for Children and Youth (PAI-CY) 13-17 years.

Initial psychometric properties of the PAI-CY 13-17 were acceptable, although more work is needed to assess other psychometric properties, such as the underlying construct. Following implementation in low vision care to assess participation needs, enabling larger samples, acceptability of the PAI-CY 13-17 to end-users should be carefully monitored, especially if alterations are made based on the current study.
