Abstract
Evidence is presented for the utilization of a shortened version of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales. The results confirmed that the shortened versions retained adequate internal consistencies, test-retest reliabilities, and both concurrent and predictive validities over a 2 year period which were similar to the original longer versions.
