This means that our data is likely to represent a valid sample. The summary page for your CCSI data contains a table with scores for each scale along with normative scores derived from the total sample. Lower scores are indicative of better health. The CCSI summary sheet also contains two graphs. The global score graph illustrates how your total CCSI score compares to 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
Lower scores are indicative of better health.
The scale score graph visually displays the data in the table with respect to each scale score. The red line represents your scores. Lower scores are indicative of better health. Thus it is possible to have a relatively normal SF-36 and yet still have a CCSI that indicates some areas for concern that could benefit from preventative measures to avoid serious illness later. At this time, the CCSI is a research instrument used to produce hypotheses for further assessment.
