This study examined the face and preliminary content validity of the Toileting Habit Profile Questionnaire, a tool designed to screen for sensory-based defecation difficulties in children. A panel of experts reviewed a pilot version of the questionnaire and responded to probe questions. Two reviewers conducted direct content analysis of responses; 100% agreement was reached. Experts demonstrated a high degree of agreement and their input was useful in establishing this tool for initial research and clinical use. The Toileting Habit Profile Questionnaire appears to capture behaviors that are consistent with problematic toileting behaviors, particularly as they relate to sensory overreactivity.
