The Patient Experience Divide
BACKGROUND: Income is closely linked to morbidity and mortality in the United States, potentially due in part to differences in patient experience. However, existing studies on income and care experiences are outdated and have other important limitations. METHODS: Using data from a recent national sample of adults (N=5016), we conducted a mixed-methods investigation of the relationship between income and primary care experiences. Patient experien…

The Use of External Anchors When Examining Differences in Scale Performance in Patient Experience Surveys
OBJECTIVES: To present an example of using vignettes as an external anchor to assess measurement equivalence for patient experience measures. BACKGROUND: Evaluating measurement equivalence and differences in scale use is helpful for identifying disparities in patient experience based on patient surveys. External anchors, often in the form of scored vignettes, provide an attractive approach to examining differences in scale use but are not commonl…
Longitudinal validation of the PROMIS-16 in a sample of adults in the United States with back pain
Results provide between-level support for the longitudinal and predictive validity of the PROMIS-16. Similar average baseline scores and changes over time were observed between PROMIS-16 and PROMIS-29 + 2. Further, average change estimates comparably predicted average change in distal outcomes. This work provides evidence supporting the utility of the PROMIS-16 as a viable, short-profile option for use in clinical and research settings
The PROMIS-16 reproduces the PROMIS-29 physical and mental health summary scores accurately in a probability-based internet panel
The PROMIS-16 provides similar estimates of the PROMIS-29 physical and mental health summary scores. The high reliability of these scores indicates they are accurate enough for use with individual patients

Comparing patient-reported outcomes measurement information system® (PROMIS®)-16 domain scores with the PROMIS-29 and 5-item PROMIS cognitive function scores
The PROMIS-16 domain scores perform similarly to the longer PROMIS measures and can be interpreted in the same way. This similarity indicates that PROMIS-16 can be useful for research as a brief health-related quality-of-life profile measure
Agreement of PROMIS Preference (PROPr) scores generated from the PROMIS-29 + 2 and the PROMIS-16
PROPr scores from the 16-item PROMIS profile measure are similar to PROPr scores from the longer PROMIS-29 + 2
Significant individual change should be used as a lower bound for anchor based estimates of meaningful change on patient-reported outcome scores
Interpretation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores has been supported by identifying score thresholds or ranges that indicate clinical importance. There has been a recent focus on the estimation of meaningful within patient change (MWPC). While much attention has been focused on anchor-based methods, some researchers prefer that a lower bound to these estimates should exceed a change score that could be observed due to measurement error alon…
Development of an ultra-short measure of eight domains of health-related quality of life for research and clinical care
The PROMIS-16 Profile provides an attractive brief measure of eight distinct domains of health-related quality of life, representing an ideal screening tool for clinical care, which can help clinicians quickly identify distinct areas of concern that may require further assessment and follow-up. Further research is needed to confirm and extend these findings
A Perspective on the Measurement of Whole Person Health
There is growing interest in moving away from a reductionistic view of the person and the health services they need to focus on improving the health of the whole person. However, there needs to be agreement about what this focus entails and how to measure its achievement. From this perspective, we offer suggestions for moving the measurement discussion forward. Our key suggestion is to separate the measurement of whole person health (WPH)—that is…
Mentoring Relationships
[Extract] Mentoring relationships are ideally driven by mentees and help mentees to tackle professional challenges and/or plan career development. Mentees can choose from several mentoring formats: senior, near peer, within or outside the institution, dyadic or network, in person or virtual. Regardless of the format, mentors guide key stages of mentee professional development, balance challenging and supporting the mentee, and help the mentee to …
Assessing Representativeness of Seriously Ill Patient Survey Responders in a Pragmatic Clinical Trial
A tailored survey and recruitment strategy yielded a representative sample of seriously ill, largely older, primary care respondents in the context of a pragmatic clinical trial
Comparison of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS®)-29 and PROMIS global physical and mental health scores
PROMIS-29 and PROMIS global mental health scales provide different information and, therefore, study conclusions may vary depending on which measure is used. Interpretation of results needs to consider that the PROMIS-29 mental health scale is a weighted combination of specific domains while the PROMIS global mental health scale is based on general mental health perceptions. Further comparisons of methods of assessing mental health are needed
Measuring Gender Role Conflict, Internalized Stigma, and Racial and Sexual Identity in Behaviorally Bisexual Black Men
Black men who have sex with men and women (BMSMW) experience pressure to fill hypermasculine ideals and may not identify with “gay” cultural norms. Existing measures of gender role expectations and internalized homophobia are not culturally appropriate for BMSMW. Researchers generally measure categorical identification with race, gender, and sexual orientation groups separately, whereas BMSMW may identify with multiple categories. We modified the…
Investigating Perceptions of Teachers and School Nurses on Child and Adolescent Oral Health in Los Angeles County
This study reports the results of focus groups with school nurses and teachers from elementary, middle, and high schools to explore their perceptions of child and adolescent oral health. Participants included 14 school nurses and 15 teachers (83% female; 31% Hispanic; 21% White; 21% Asian; 14% African American; and 13% Others). Respondents were recruited from Los Angeles County schools and scheduled by school level for six one-hour focus groups u…
Development and Evaluation of the Clinical Trial HEalth Knowledge and Beliefs Scale (CHEKS)
Patient health literacy is vital to clinical trial engagement. Knowledge and beliefs about clinical trials may contribute to patient literacy of clinical trials, influencing engagement, enrollment and retention. We developed and assessed a survey that measures clinical trial health knowledge and beliefs, known as the Clinical trial HEalth Knowledge and belief Scale (CHEKS). The 31 survey items in CHEKS represent knowledge and beliefs about clinic…

Simulation study comparing analytical methods for single-item longitudinal patient-reported outcomes data
Although the CLMM showed the best performance among analytical methods, it relies on assumptions difficult to verify and that might not be fulfilled in the real world, therefore our recommendation is the use of PIM models with baseline symptom as a covariate
Vision-related quality of life compared to generic measures in retinoblastoma survivors
VRQOL is impaired in bilateral RB survivors. VRQOL is associated substantially with the PROMIS-29 generic HRQOL measure but has significant unique associations with overall QOL. The NIH Toolbox® VRQOL measure provides important information about the vision-related effects on daily life of AYA RB survivors

Guidelines for Designing and Evaluating Feasibility Pilot Studies
This commentary offers examples of indicators for evaluating feasibility, and of the limits of effect size estimation in pilot studies. As demonstrated, most pilot studies should not be used to estimate effect sizes, provide power calculations for statistical tests or perform exploratory analyses of efficacy. It is hoped that these guidelines will be useful to those planning pilot/feasibility studies before a larger-scale study
Associations of Self-Reported Sleep Quality with Demographic and Other Characteristics in Older Korean Immigrants
Marital Status, Social Support, and Health Transitions in Chronic Disease Patients
Married persons tend to be healthier, both physically and mentally, than unmarried persons. We tested the hypothesis that being married results in better physical and mental health outcomes for chronic disease patients (N = 1,817) by increasing social support. We modeled health outcomes one year later, controlling for initial health status. Cross-validation studies of two random halves of the sample supported an indirect effect of marital status …
Delays and Unmet Need for Health Care Among Adult Primary Care Patients in a Restructured Urban Public Health System
Objectives. We estimated the prevalence and determinants of delayed and unmet needs for medical care among patients in a restructured public health system. Methods. We conducted a stratified cross-sectional probability sample of primary care patients in the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 1819 adult patients in 6 languages. The response rate was 80%. The study sample was racially/ethni…
Ethnic Variations in Dementia Caregiving Experiences
The proportion of minority elders with dementia in the United States is projected to rise substantially. This study elicited perceptions of the caregiving experience from informal caregivers of persons with dementia, across different ethnicities. Six focus groups with 47 dementia caregivers of African-American, Chinese-American, Euro-American, and Hispanic-American ethnicities were conducted. Caregiving roles, concern about the person with dement…

Coping, Conflictual Social Interactions, Social Support, and Mood Among HIV‐Infected Persons
This study considers the interrelationships among coping, conflictual social interactions, and social support, as well as their combined associations with positive and negative mood. Research has shown that each of these variables affects adjustment to stressful circumstances. Few studies, however, examine this full set of variables simultaneously. One hundred forty HIV‐infected persons completed a questionnaire containing measures of coping, soc…
Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Survey (CAHPS)
This study describes the psychometric properties of the Consumer Assessments of Health Plans Survey (CAHPS) in 279 persons who completed it in Spanish and 439 persons who completed it in English. We found negatively skewed distributions of responses and significant ceiling effects in both English and Spanish surveys. Cronbach’s alphas for English and Spanish multiple-item composites were 0.69 or higher. Correlations between the CAHPS measures and…

Evaluating the SF-36 Health Survey (Version 2) in Older Vietnamese Americans
As the older populations in the United States become more diverse, it is important to have standardized health-related quality of life measures. However, the conceptualization of physical and mental health and associations among different scales may be different for Asian immigrants than for other groups. Thus, the interpretation of the SF-36 scores needs to account for cultural differences

Patterns of Coping Among Persons with HIV Infection
This study examines coping in response to HIV infection, using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample ( n = 2,864) of HIV‐infected persons. We investigated configurations of coping responses, the correlates of configuration membership, the stability of coping configurations, and the relationship of coping to emotional well‐being. Four coping configurations emerged from cluster analyses: relatively frequent use of blame‐withdraw…
Comparison of Data Quality for Reports and Ratings of Ambulatory Care by African American and White Medicare Managed Care Enrollees
Higher missing data rates and lower plan-level reliability estimates for African American Medicare managed care enrollees suggest caution in making race/ethnicity comparisons. Future efforts are needed to enhance the quality of data collected from older African Americans

Honesty Requiring a Self-Initiated Response
33 patrons of the University of California, Riverside student union were given $1.05 in change for a dollar bill (three quarters, two dimes, and two nickels). Honesty was assessed by the criterion of self-initiating the return of the extra nickel, and behavior was examined as a function of sex, age, and manner of dress. Results indicate that the over-all honesty of patrons was low (45%), but no significant findings for the relationship between th…
Authoritarian Traits as Predictors of Preference for Candidates in 1980 United States Presidential Election
Responses of 42 males and 42 females to a questionnaire containing items from the dogmatism and F scales showed the right-wing candidate supporters were higher on authoritarianism than adherents of either moderate Republicans or President Carter; left-wing liberal candidate supporters were lowest. Data support the findings of previous research, attest to the reliability and validity of both the D scale and F scale, are consistent with the content…

Validity of self-reports of alcohol and other drug use
Four methods (self-reported rating, self-reported intake, peer-reported rating, peer-reported intake) and multiple analytical criteria were employed to assess the construct validity of reports of three types of substance use (alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes) in a study of 194 college students who were members of friendship pairs. The resulting multitrait-multimethod matrix was analyzed in the traditional fashion as well as with confirmatory fa…
My Medical Care Is Better Than Yours
It is well-documented that ratings of medical care received personally (personal referent) yield more favorable responses than ratings of care received by people in general (general referent). Hence general items are useful in achieving greater variation in responses to satisfaction surveys. However, the validity of general items relative to personal items is being debated currently. It has been hypothesized that bias due to socially desirable re…
A Short-Form Measure of Loneliness
The revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-20) and a four-item short form (ULS-4) are widely used in personality research (Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980). In an exploratory factor analysis of the ULS-20, we identified eight items that loaded substantially on the first factor. These items were combined to form an alternative short-form measure, the ULS-8. The results of this study indicate that the ULS-8 is reliable, valid, and a better substitute …

Methods For Measuring Patient Satisfaction With Specific Medical Encounters
This paper presents the results of two studies that compared methods for measuring patient satisfaction with specific medical encounters. One form used six-point response scales ranging from "very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied" (S6 scale); the other used five-point scales ranging from "excellent" to "poor" (E5 scale). Forms were assigned randomly to outpatients in fee-for-service (N = 136) and prepaid systems of care (N = 363) and were compare…
The MOS Short-form General Health Survey
A Five-Item Measure of Socially Desirable Response Set
The internal consistency reliability of a five-item measure of socially desirable response set, the SDRS-5, was examined in two samples: 614 outpatients of medical providers and 3053 outpatients of medical and mental health providers. Alpha reliability estimates were 0.66 and 0.68, respectively. One-month test-retest reliability was 0.75 in a sample of 75 older adults. With appropriate caveats, we recommend the SDRS-5 for clinical investigators n…

The Functional Status of Patients
Physicians wishing to maintain the functional capacity of their patients often need, but usually do not have, practical measures of function. The Dartmouth COOP, a primary care research network, developed nine pictorial Charts to efficiently measure patient function in busy office practice. Each Chart has a five-point scale, is illustrated, and can be self-administered or administered by office staff. The Charts are used to measure the patients' …

Multitrait-Multimethod Analysis of Health-Related Quality-of-Life Measures
Interest in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is burgeoning and there has been a proliferation of self-report measures of HRQOL. However, only two instruments available for measuring HRQOL have been calibrated using empirically derived preferences; both are long and complex. This study tested a brief survey designed to concurrently assess HRQOL and preferences for different HRQOL states. Multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) analysis was used to eva…
Development of an Instrument to Measure Job Satisfaction Among Dentists
Because of the rapid changes that have occurred in the dental profession, the Dentist Satisfaction Survey (DSS) was developed to assess both facet and overall job satisfaction among dentists. The DSS was administered to a sample of 558 California general dentists. The results suggest that the DSS is a practical, reliable, and valid measure of dentists' job satisfaction. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for all facet subscales and the…
