    Instrument Language
    An 18-item instrument was developed in seven languages.
    Sample: Age (Mean and Range)

    aged ≥ 18 years

    Sample: Age Group

    18-64 Years, 65+ Years

    Sample: Countries/State

    United Kingdom

    Sample: Disability Type

    Mental Health Challenges

    Sample: Gender (%male)

    39.9

    Sample: Race/Ethnicity (%)

    Other ethnic group 7.5% (n=19); White 92.5% (n = 233)

    Sample: Sampling Strategy

    Simple Random Sample, Convenience Sample

    Sample: Size

    random sample: n = 252; convenience sample of mental health service users (MHSUs) n = 43

    Reliability: Internal Consistency

    Cronbach’s α of SWB = 0.832; Perceived Opps = 0.741; SatOpps = 0.837; Changes to opportunities = 0.532; Objective (O14) = 0.50; Participation (P13) = 0.46.

    Validity: Other Evidence

    Repeating the discriminant validity tests on the short version demonstrates good discriminant validity between the mental health groups.
