Xm² Scores for Estimating Total Exposure to Multimodal Strategies Identified by Pharmacists for Managing Pain: Validity Testing and Clinical Relevance

Figure 1

Percent of individuals using each number of pain self-management strategies and percent of individuals assigned each exposure score. The black bars indicate the number of pain management strategies used. The grey bars indicate the exposure score. For example, Figure 1 shows 10.1% of individuals used 10 pain management strategies and 8.7% of individuals had an exposure score of 10, while 0.7% of individuals used 20 pain management strategies and 2% of individuals had an exposure score of 20. Mean number of strategies used = 12.6 (standard deviation = 4.6). Mean exposure score = 16.8 (standard deviation = 9.1).
