Findings from Research

PROMIS® provides a comprehensive set of measures for assessing physical, mental, and social health, designed for both children and adults using advanced psychometric techniques.
The measures are available in fixed-length questionnaires and computerized adaptive tests, with translations in multiple languages, making them accessible for diverse populations in health behavior research.
PROMIS®: Standardizing the patient voice in health psychology research and practice.Yount, SE., Cella, D., Blozis, S.[2019]
The PROMIS-PF short form for geriatric rehabilitation (PROMIS-PF-GR) was developed and validated with 207 patients, showing strong content validity and excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.94).
The PROMIS-PF-GR demonstrated good structural validity, being sufficiently unidimensional and locally independent, making it a reliable tool for measuring physical function in older rehabilitation patients.
Development of a Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) short form for measuring physical function in geriatric rehabilitation patients.Smit, EB., Bouwstra, H., van der Wouden, JC., et al.[2021]
The PROMIS item banks for measuring 'Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities' and 'Satisfaction with Social Roles and Activities' were validated in a study with 1002 participants from the Dutch general population, demonstrating strong psychometric properties such as unidimensionality and high reliability (at least 0.90).
These item banks can be effectively used with Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT), allowing for efficient and precise measurement of social participation with minimal items needed, enhancing user experience and reducing administration time.
