Community Integration Questionnaire — Measuring Social and Productive Reintegration

The Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) is a brief, validated instrument specifically designed to assess how well individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other disabling conditions have reintegrated into community life across home, social, and work domains. Originally developed in 1993 by Willer and colleagues, it operationalizes the WHO definition of 'participation' and has become the standard outcome measure in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation and long-term follow-up studies.
