Dealing with pain† and Pain drawing
LASA filenames:
LASA188 (wave E)
Contact: Natasja van Schoor
Background
The pain drawing was assessed twice in the first cohort of the study. One time in the medical interview of the E-cycle, and one time in a postal questionnaire in 2001/2002.
Measurement instruments in LASA
The pain drawing is based on the study of Bergenudd and Johnell (1). First, a question about pain in the previous 3 months (no/yes) was asked. In case the response was “yes”, the respondent was asked to give information about the location and type of pain in two pain drawings of the front and backside of the body.
The data are entered twice, but inconsistencies are not yet checked. At this time point there are no researchers working with the pain drawing.
