Development and Psychometric Assessment of a Multidimensional Measure of Internalized HIV Stigma in a Sample of HIV-positive Adults
Item Response Theory Analyses of Physical Functioning Items in the Medical Outcomes Study
BACKGROUND: Constructing and evaluating item pools that measure a single domain of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is one of the fundamental objectives of the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement and Information System (PROMIS) project. The initial focus of PROMIS is on 5 HRQOL domains: physical function, fatigue, pain, emotional distress, and social/role participation. Analysis of related, available data can inform construction of these n…

Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory Analyses of Multi-Item Scales Assessing Parents?? Perceptions of Their Children??s Dental Care
BACKGROUND: Classical test theory and item response theory methods can provide useful and potentially different insights into the performance of items in a survey designed to elicit parental perceptions of dental care delivered to children in publicly funded programs. OBJECTIVES: We sought to illustrate the use of both classical test theory and item response theory to evaluate survey instruments. METHODS: : Using 2 years of cross-sectional data c…
How Many Patients Are Needed to Provide Reliable Evaluations of Individual Clinicians
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine how many patients are needed to provide reliable patient ratings of care at the individual clinician level. SETTING AND SOURCES OF DATA: The study was conducted in an academic medical center and was based on analysis of 34,985 patients who completed a 50-item survey rating the care received during a recent outpatient visit to a physician or midlevel provider. STUDY DESIGN: Analyses of patient sa…
Race/Ethnicity, Language, and Patients' Assessments of Care in Medicaid Managed Care
Objective. Consumer assessments of health care provide important information about how well health plans and clinicians meet the needs of the people they serve. The purpose of this study was to examine whether consumer reports and ratings of care in Medicaid managed care vary by race/ethnicity and language. Data Sources. Data were derived from the National CAHPS ® Benchmarking Database (NCBD) 3.0 and consisted of 49,327 adults enrolled in Medicai…
The Criminalization of Persons with Serious Mental Illness Living in Rural Areas
In the context of restrictive admissions policies at public inpatient facilities, rates of arrest and incarceration of persons with serious mental illness (SMI) have been increasing, leading to the perception that SMI persons are being unduly “criminalized.” This paper describes the characteristics of persons with SMI (N=177) in Mississippi who have been (1) jailed without charges while awaiting a hospital bed and (2) jailed for a criminal offens…
