AB  - PURPOSE: To develop a French version of the Overt Behaviour Scale (OBS) and 
      examine some of its psychometric properties. METHODS: The scale was adapted and 
      validated according to standard guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of 
      questionnaires (Echelle des comportements observables; ECO). The reliability and 
      construct validity of the ECO were studied among 29 inpatients and outpatients 
      who sustained an acquired brain injury. The instruments were administered by 12 
      clinicians located at eight rehabilitation centres and the local brain injury 
      association. RESULTS: The ECO provided behaviour profile descriptives much like 
      the original scale. It showed excellent reliability and good convergent and 
      divergent validity, as reflected by significant associations with other measures 
      that contained similar behavioural items and by the absence of signification 
      correlations with broader constructs such as physical and cognitive abilities. 
      CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence that the ECO behaves much like the 
      original OBS, has promising initial findings with respect to reliability and 
      validity and is a valuable research and clinical instrument to assess the 
      severity and typology of challenging behaviour after an acquired brain injury and 
      to monitor the evolution of behaviours after intervention in French and bilingual 
      communities.
