Objective: The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the interrater reliability of the Community Health Environment Checklist.
Design: Thirty buildings were randomly selected. Three trained raters assessed each destination with the Community Health Environment Checklist.
Setting: All buildings assessed during this study were located in an urban community in St. Louis, Missouri.
Participants: Buildings represent 13 categories of building type from a defined geographic region.
Interventions: Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measure: The outcome measure in this study was the Community Health Environment Checklist, which is used to quantify the receptivity of public buildings from the perspectives of people with mobility impairments.
Results: The findings suggest that the subscales of the Community Health Environment Checklist have excellent interrater reliability coefficients, (intraclass correlation coefficient, .76-.99).
Conclusions: The findings of this study provide preliminary data to support the clinical utility of the Community Health Environment Checklist as a measure of the receptivity of the physical environment for persons with mobility impairments.
