*Each item was correlated with the applicable scale excluding the item under consideration from the scale score; with regard to two item scales this equals the inter-item correlation; corrected item-own scale correlations cannot be applied to single item scales (na, not applicable); †physical (PHS) and psychosocial (PSS) CHQ summary measures based on a factor analytical model of a US population sample11; ‡each item was indicated by an acronym as applied in the CHQ user’s manual11; §p<0.05; ¶p<0.01.
