Previous research shows that the Multnomah Community Ability Scale (MCAS) total score is reliable and has predictive validity. This study evaluates the MCAS total and sub-scale scores on a sample of 1,250 outpatient mental health clients in Washington State. The MCAS sub-scales are reliable, and there is evidence for their concurrent validity. However, the factor structure of the MCAS only partially replicated the hypothesized sub-scales, and the authors recommend that sub-scales as currently constructed not be used as performance indicators. If only the total MCAS is of interest to users, the authors recommend using the single-item SOFAS rather than the 17-item MCAS.
先前的研究表明，马尔特诺马社区能力量表（MCAS）总分具有可靠性和预测效度。本研究对华盛顿州1250名门诊心理健康患者样本的MCAS总分及分量表得分进行了评估。MCAS分量表具有可靠性，并有证据证明其同时效度。然而，MCAS的因子结构仅部分复制了假设的分量表，作者建议不要将目前构建的分量表用作绩效指标。如果使用者只对MCAS总分感兴趣，作者建议使用单项的大体功能评定量表（SOFAS）而非17项的MCAS。
