• Factor analysis identified a 4-factor solution (work pain beliefs for items 8, 9, and 12-16 [Cronbach ¦Á =0.89]
• Consequences of work for 6, 7, & 10-12 [¦Á=0.88]

• The FABQ-PA was identified as the strongest individual contributor to SPADI disability scores (when compared with these other scales and the TSK-11); it accounted for 11% of the variance in SPADI disability scores (P<0.01).

"All 16 individual items reached acceptable levels of test-retest reproducibility. 71% of individual answers were identical on retest which is high for 7-point scales. K statistics confirmed that all 16 items had high level of reproducibility. Two items had moderate concordance of 0.41-0.60, 8 had substantial concordance of 0.61-0.80 and 6 had close to complete concordance of greater than 0.80 (Landis and Koch 1977). The average level of K for all 16 items was 0.74 and all reached the 0.001 level of significance.

• FABQl was weakly related to sex.

• The mean score of FABQl in patients with low back pain alone was 21.9 +/- 14.3, in low back pain plus referred thigh pain 25.2 +/- 12.1 and in nerve root pain 17.8 +/- 12.0. 
• Neither of the factors showed any significant correlation with total duration, duration of the present episode or time pattern of pain. 
• Fear-avoidance beliefs about work were consistently more powerful in males than in females accounting for 27% and 35% of the variance of disability and work loss in the past year, respectively, in males but only 17% and 18% in females. 

Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients for the 2 scales were:

(Waddell et al. 1993) 

• The present FABQ was developed in 2 pilot groups totaling 30 patients attending an orthopaedic out-patient clinic. The FABQ focused on patients¡¯ beliefs about how physical activity and work affected their current low back pain. It was based mainly on fear theory and fear-avoidance cognitions but also drew on the concept of Disease Conviction (Pilowsky and Spence 1975, 1983) which includes beliefs about the seriousness of the illness and its effect on the patient¡¯s life and on the concepts of somatic focusing and increased somatic awareness (Main 1983). The final format was a self-report questionnaire of 16 items presented on a single page (Appendix). The items were original though the wording of many of the items was derived from Fordyce¡¯s teaching aphorisms about pain behaviour (Fordyce 1988) and the 2 questions from Sandstrom and Esbjornsson (1986). Only I item was similar to 1 of the items in PAIRS (Riley et al. 1988) and 3 items to the SOPA harm scale (Jensen 1991). Each item was answered on a ¡®7-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. 

(Waddell et al. 1993) 

• ¡°There are several limitations to the present study. The analysis was based entirely on self-report measures and should ideally, as far as possible, be checked or compared with externally validated measures. These findings could be tested with alternative and more comprehensive measures of pain¡­¡± (pg.8) 
• This paragraph sums up the measure of face validity. Not only is this measure entirely subjective, it is solely based on self report measures, therefore the face validity is in question. 

(Cleland et al, 2007) 

• The measure is based on self-report, so there are inherent face validity issues present.

(Waddell et al. 1993) 

• ¡°In the complete series of 210 patients none had to be excluded because of lack of understanding or compliance on the FABQ itself, although 21 patients were unable to complete items 6-16 because they were not employed. Otherwise, there were only 1.3% missing answers and no individual item had greater than 2.1% missing answers. The answers to all 16 individual items were distributed across at least 4 categories and no item had to be excluded from further analysis because of excessively skewed distribution (Maxwell 1971).¡± (p. 6)

(Cleland et al, 2007)

• 189 patients were excluded from the study due to missing FABQ scores¡ªit is possible that the missing scores may have influenced the results. Also, the duration of physical therapy was only 30 days, so it is difficult to project usefulness of the FABQ in terms of long-term prognosis.
