Who-DAS or APA-GAF : a difficult choice

الملخص EN

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences in the measures of disabilities (WHO/DAS) , and measures of functioning (APA/GAF).

Simultaneous and independent ratings of the disabilities and the functioning of 20 acutely ill patients by two raters using the aforementioned scales, revealed that the ratings were highly correlated.

Although the two scales differ in format, the results of this study indicate that they measure the same things.
