Abstract
The Allen Cognitive Level Screen is a quick screening test to assess the cognitive functions of people with cognitive impairments or psychiatric disabilities. The purposes of the study were to translate the Allen Cognitive Level Screen into Cantonese and to gather evidence of the reliability of the translated version. Translation was performed by three bilingual occupational therapists. A panel of another five bilingual occupational therapists verified the accuracy of translation. Thirty randomly selected Cantonese-speaking healthcare workers performed the Cantonese version of the Allen Cognitive Level Screen. Results suggested that the test seemed to be accurately translated. Inter-rater reliability and the test-retest coefficient of the Cantonese version of the Allen Cognitive Level Screen were 0.98 and 0.73 (test-retest interval = 28.3 days) respectively. Future research should be directed towards further exploring the psychometric properties and clinical application of the Cantonese version of Allen Cognitive Level Screen.
