This question is in relation to the data analysis of a functional outcome measure validation study. As we found individual differences in the preference (based on gender, age and other factors) of carrying out some IADL and social participation items, we first asked patients if an activity is important, if yes, then we asked them to rate difficulty in carrying out the activity on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. If identified as not important, a score of 0 is given. Few researchers scored the difficulty rating as "missing" for items rated as not important. We want to know is there any other method for the same?
