The Pain Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ) was administered to 58 health care professionals with a concurrent validation measure, the Knowledge of Behavioral Principles Questionnaire. The PAQ showed adequate internal consistency, concurrent and criterion group validities. Attempts to develop two parallel forms of the PAQ and replicate the factor structure reported by Saunders & Webster (1982) were unsuccessful.
