概要	Rasch analysis is a psychometric method, based on Georg Rasch's probabilistic measurement model, used to test and refine the disability, function, and participation scales that pervade disability and rehabilitation research. As set out for clinicians by Alan Tennant and Philip Conaghan in 2007, fitting the Rasch model checks whether a scale's items genuinely measure a single underlying trait at interval level, so that summing item scores into a total is justified. Because so many disability outcome measures simply add ordinal item ratings — assuming items are equally difficult and that ordinal categories behave like interval data — Rasch analysis provides the rigorous test of whether that common practice is actually valid.	The Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY) is a caregiver-report instrument that measures how children aged 5 to 17, with and without disabilities, participate in the home, school, and community, and the environmental supports and barriers that shape that participation. Developed by Wendy Coster, Mary Law, Gary Bedell, Mary Khetani and colleagues and published in 2011-2012, the PEM-CY operationalizes the participation construct of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) by asking, for each setting, how often a child takes part, how involved they are, and whether the family desires change, alongside ratings of which environmental features help or hinder. Its distinctive contribution is to measure participation and environment together rather than treating the environment as a separate afterthought.
