    Final measurement model of BPI evaluations of 258 bone metastases patients. Model showing 3 distinct factors: Pain, Activity interference, and Affect interference with standardized factor loading of each item onto respective factor. E = residual for each item; C = correlation estimate. Model's adjusted goodness of fit = 0.94.
