The revised CIQ-R includes measurement of use of electronic social networking (ESN) for social integration. The CIQ-R can be completed directly with the person with disability or by proxy. The questionnaire has a total of 18 items across four subscales (home integration, social integration, productivity, and electronic social networking), and scores are primarily created by self-report of performance frequency. The CIQ-R and normative data manual can be found HERE.
