constructed to assess fear of falling and activity avoidance using a self-report format. In modifying the scale, Yardley and Smith omitted several activities from the original instrument to improve the discriminant validity in a higher
functioning sample of community dwelling older adults (Yardley & Smith, 2002). Using a 3-point Likert response format (range 1-3), the mSAFFE requires participants to view a list of 17 activities
(i.e., 5 ADL/ IADL, 9 mobility, 3 social) and determine whether they would never avoid, sometimes avoid, or always avoid the activity because they are afraid they might fall over. The total mSAFFE score, which can range from 17 to 51, is calculated by summing the responses across the 17 items in the scale. Higher mSAFFE scores reflect higher levels of activity restriction. Mean scores for the mSAFFE have ranged from 22.8 (Delbaere et al., 2004) to 24.0 (Yardley & Smith). Yardley and Smith have found that the mSAFFE demonstrates good internal consistency reliability (α = .91-.92) and 6 month test-retest reliability (rho = .75).
