A work function measure specific for persons with prodromal Huntington disease (HD) was created to assist with workplace accommodations.
A self-report HD Work Function (HDWF) measure was developed from focus group and expert validation.
Pilot studies with 238 people with prodromal HD, and 185 companions; and 89 people without prodromal HD, and 70 companions indicate that HDWF has acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach α = 0.77), acceptable interrater reliability (r = 0.58), and acceptable convergent validity with selected items from the Endicott Work Productivity Scale (r = -0.56), Social Adjustment Scale-Self Report (r = -0.29), and Everyday Cognition (r = -0.70). The HDWF can distinguish between people with prodromal HD and people with an HD family history who do not have prodromal HD (P < 0.0001).
The HDWF is a brief self-assessment that may be used to monitor work function.
为有前驱亨廷顿病（HD）的人创建特定的工作功能衡量标准，以协助工作场所适应。
从焦点小组和专家验证中开发出自我报告的 HD 工作功能（HDWF）衡量标准。
对 238 名前驱 HD 患者及其 185 名同伴，以及 89 名无前驱 HD 患者及其 70 名同伴进行的初步研究表明，HDWF 具有可接受的内部一致性（Cronbach α = 0.77），可接受的评分者间可靠性（r = 0.58），以及与 Endicott 工作生产力量表（r = -0.56），社会适应量表 - 自我报告（r = -0.29）和日常认知（r = -0.70）的选定项目具有可接受的收敛效度。HDWF 可以区分有前驱 HD 的人和没有前驱 HD 的有 HD 家族史的人（P < 0.0001）。
HDWF 是一种简短的自我评估，可用于监测工作功能。
