Methods A total of 1,533 adult participants (762 males, 771 females) retrospectively completed a questionnaire assessing sports participation (single/multisport), training frequency (weekly days of sports participation), and injury history (acute and overuse) at each stage of school (elementary, junior high, and high school).

Development of a reading difficulty questionnaire for adolescents in Japanese

BackgroundDyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder which occurs in childhood but continues to influence academic and occupational function in adulthood. Recently, a Japanese dyslexia questionnaire and diagnostic procedure was established for primary school children. However, there is currently no procedure for the diagnosis or screening of dyslexia in individuals at or above junior high school age; accordingly, we aimed to develop a questionnaire to screen for reading difficulties in those individuals. MethodsA questionnaire with various candidate items was developed from two English questionnaires, one Japanese questionnaire, and newly devised items focusing on the Japanese writing system and the most appropriate 28 items were selected. In total, 462 adults and 127 junior high to high school students were enrolled. Of those, 191 participants also took part in reading tests. After the exploratory factor analysis, reliability and validity were evaluated using the above control participants and 12 adolescents with dyslexia. ResultsThe questionnaire included three factors, i.e., silent reading sub-scale (four items), writing sub-scale (four items), and aloud reading sub-scale (three items). Five were newly devised items focusing on the Japanese writing system. Cronbach’s alphas of the three factors were 0.706, 0.638, and 0.568, respectively, and the interclass correlation coefficients (2,1) were 0.743, 0.609, and 0.695, respectively. The silent reading and aloud reading sub-scales were positively correlated with word, non-word, and passage reading time. DiscussionThe newly developed questionnaire correlated well with actual reading performance and may be used to screen reading difficulty in Japanese individuals at or above junior high school age.
