“…This questionnaire elicited a variety of details about headaches including those of relevance to migraine and also contained nine questions derived from the Cornell Medical Index Health Questionnaire which had been used previously in community studies of psychoneurosis (Rawnsley, 1966). CLINICAL INTERVIEW Random samples of women from subgroups with all combinations of the three features of migraine (unilateral headache, warning before headache, accompanying nausea) were visited in their homes for a clinical assessment of their headaches (P.J.…”

SUMMARY During a survey of a defined community, 2,933 women aged 20 to 64 years were asked standard questions about headaches. Overall, 78-7% had headaches during the year immediately preceding the survey and this proportion decreased significantly with age. Random samples of subgroups with unilateral headaches, headaches preceded by a warning, and headaches accompanied by nausea were examined clinically. From these clinical diagnoses the prevalence of women with migraine during the previous year was estimated as 19 %. Nearly half of those diagnosed as having migraine had never consulted a doctor because of headaches. Women with migraine and nonmigrainous headaches kept diaries of all headaches and data are presented for the time and day of onset, severity, duration and relation of menstruation for both types of headache.

“…Personality scales.-The function of this part of the WHQ is to measure the severity of psychoneurotic traits by use of selected items from the Cornell Medical Index (CMI) health questionnaire (23). However, this sample of items differs from the CMI sub-scale derived by Lipman et al (32).…”

The basic principles of the rating scale procedure have been outlined, including the Likert scale, the Guilford criteria for item definitions, and the Guttman and Rasch criteria for item combinations. With these criteria, headache rates among the core symptoms of anxiety and depression. Next, we have discussed one of the prevailing scales for headache, the Waters Headache Questionnaire (WHQ), with a multiaxial approach. The WHQ thus contains a severity axis, a diagnostic axis, and a personality axis. Previous studies on the validity of the WHQ, including factor analysis, have shown that migraine and muscular headaches are not mutually exclusive categories. Studies to validate a two-dimensional diagnostic system of migraine and non-migraine headache by Rasch models are discussed. In the field of personality it was suggested, when using questionnaires like the WHQ, to focus on the concepts of acquiescence and dissimulation. Supplemental axes such as "severity of psychosocial stressors" and "social functioning" or "quality of life" should be considered in future research.

“…1949). Both in its original form and its shortened version it has a fair degree of agreement with psychiatric assessment (Rawnsley 1966). The mothers were required to ring 'yes' or 'no' to 24 questions which refer either to emotional states ('Does every little thing get on your nerves and wear you out?')…”

SUMMARY A comparison of the iq scores of a group of spina bifida children and their siblings and a group of matched control children and their siblings indicated that maldevelopment of or damage to the central nervous system is associated with lower iq, even when social class is taken into account. The frequency of maladjustment was found to be almost four times higher in the siblings of the children with spina bifida than in the siblings of the normal control children. No differences were observed in Bristol Social Adjustment Guide (bsag) scores of siblings according to whether the child with spina bifida was away at a residential school or was living at home. The birth rank of the child with spina bifida was not found to influence the siblings' adjustment, but spina bifida children with slight handicaps were found to have the highest bsag scores, and the siblings of the moderately handicapped spina bifida children had the lowest. The malaise scores of the mothers exceeded those in other studies of children with different forms of handicap. RÉSUMÉ Mères, frères et soeurs de malades atteints de spina bifida Une comparaison des qi d'un groupe de spina bifida et de leurs frères et soeurs d'une part et d'un groupe contrôle apparié avec également les frères et soeurs indique que le mauvais développement ou la lésion du système nerveux central est associéà un qi bas même lorsqu'on tient compte de la classe sociale. La fréquence de l'inadaptation a été trouvée près de 4 fois plus importante chez les frères et soeurs des enfants atteints de spina bifida que dans l'entourage du groupe contrôle. Aucune différence n'a été notée dans les résultats au Bristol Social Adjustement Guide (bsag) chez les frères et soeurs que l'enfant atteint de spina bifida soit dans un centre scolaire ou qu'il vive à la maison. Le rang de naissance de l'enfant atteint n'avait pas d'influence sur l'adaptation des frères et soeurs mais les spina bifida avec léger handicap avaient les scores les plus élevés au bsag et les frères et soeurs de spina bifida modérément handicapés les scores les plus bas. Les scores de mauvais équilibre affectif chez les mères ont été trouvés supérieurs à ceux notés dans d'autres études. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Mütter, Brüder und Schwestern von Spina‐bifida Patienten Eine vergleichende Untersuchung der iq Ergebnisse einer Gruppe von Spina‐bifida Fällen und ihren Geschwistern und einer Gruppe entsprechender Kontrollpatienten und deren Geschwistern zeigt, daß eine Fehlentwicklung oder eine Schädigung des Zentralnervensystems mit einem neidrigen iq einhergeht, sogar wenn die soziale Gruppenzugehörigkeit mit in die Berechnung einbezogen wird. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Frequenz schlechter Anpassung bei den Geschwistern der Spina‐bifida Kinder nahezu viermal höher war als bei den Geschwistern der normalen Kontrollen. Keine Unterschiede wurden gefunden in den Ergebnissen des Bristol Social Adjustment Guide (bsag) der Angehörigen hinsichtlich dessen, ob das Spina‐bifida Kind zur Schule ging oder zu Hause lebte. Der Rang in der Geburts...
