Earlier reports confirm that the 16-item short-form version performs adequately but there is a need to determine the measure s validity and properties in larger and more diverse samples and settings. Aim The objective of this study was to examine the performance of the 16-item short-form impact version of the CPQ11-14 in different communities and cultures with diverse caries experience. Method Cross-sectional epidemiological surveys of child oral health were conducted in two regions of New Zealand one region in Brunei and one in Brazil. Children were examined for dental caries following WHO guidelines and OHRQoL was measured using the 16-item short-form item-impact version of the CPQ11-14 along with two global questions on OHRQoL. Children in the 20 with the greatest caries experience DMF score were categorised as the highest caries quintile. Construct validity was evaluated by comparing the mean scale scores across the categories of caries experience correlational construct validity was assessed by comparing mean scores and children s global ratings of oral health and well-being. Results There were substantial variations in caries experience among the different communities from in Otago to in Northland and in mean CPQ11-14 scores from in Northland to in Brunei . In all samples those in the most severe caries experience quintile had higher mean CPQ11-14 scores than those who were caries-free P . There were also greater CPQ .
