title: Content validity of the Dutch version of the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Mechanical neck pain is a common human phenomenon. In most cases, no patho-anatomical lesion can be identified with the limitations of current radiological imaging. Therefore it is preferable to assess patients with neck pain with a focus on functioning and health, within a biopsychosocial model. The Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire aims to assess biopsychosocial aspects of neck pain. However, the content validity of the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire Dutch language version (NBQ-NL) in relation to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is unknown. The purpose of the study was to examine the content validity of the NBQ-NL in relation to the health components of the ICF.
  
  
  METHODS
  Content validity was assessed in relation to the ICF, by means of Discriminant Content Validity (DCV).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicate that the NBQ-NL measures four components of the five ICF (impairment, activity, participation and personal factors).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The NBQ is a multidimensional questionnaire, representing four of the five components of the ICF.
