Behavioral Assessment of BAP  
  The BAP is used by clinics, hospitals, practitioners, insurance carriers, and attorneys throughout the United States and Canada to assist in evaluating and caring for injured patients in pain.  
 
  • The BAP is a nationally recognized published diagnostic tool (Tearnan and Lewandowski, 1992)* that was developed to measure the disability associated with persistent pain. The BAP measures over 35 factors that are important in defining disability including activity level, sleep disturbance, mood disturbance, narcotic usage, and suffering. There are also numerous other questions measuring a variety of areas such as pain location, pain intensity, verbal pain description, number of hospitalizations and surgeries, and the use of analgesics, stimulants and depressive agents.

  • The BAP includes a Disability Index Score to measure overall disability. There are also several validity scales to assure claimants answered similar items consistently and to determine if they showed tendencies to exaggerate or minimize their responses to questions. Additionally, the BAP includes a normative sample to show how statistically different each claimant's responses are from other disabled pain patients.

  • The BAP was developed in 1988 and was studied in a 4 year national project and found to be a highly reliable and valid test. It is constantly being revised and updated to assist in the accurate assessment of disability related to persistent pain.

  • The normative sample for the BAP is based on a national group of 1012 sub-acute and chronic pain patients. The T score is used as the standard score to compare a claimant's score to other patients in pain.

  • The BAP is used by clinics, hospitals, practitioners, insurance carriers, and attorneys throughout the United States and Canada to assist in evaluating and caring for injured patients in pain. It has been admitted as evidence in several states, including the states of West Virginia and Florida.
