PMU118 DEVELOPMENT OF A PEDIATRIC FACES SCALE FOR USE IN MULTIPLE DISEASE AREAS.

Reviews of pictorial faces scales used for pediatric health assessment have found that simpler scales are needed for use with young children. Most participants were able to correctly sort the faces in the hypothesized order (n=29, 87.9%); more than half of participants (n=19, 57.6%) correctly matched each response option to each face. Participants had the most difficultly matching the fourth response option "a lot [of hurt/itchy]" to Face 4; however, almost two-thirds of participants (n=21, 63.6%) correctly matched the response option to the face.
