Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement

CEPI5308

The aim of this unit is to enable students to appraise and incorporate patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) in clinical research. PROMs include: symptoms, side-effects, quality of life, satisfaction and preferences. Topics include: definitions, structure and functions of PROMs; item-generation and selection; questionnaire design; assessing validity, reliability and responsiveness to clinically important change; utilities and preferences; developing and appraising studies using PROMs. The online sessions combine information giving (first 90 minutes) with discussion and problem solving (last 30 minutes). The written assignment may be either an appraisal of an existing PROM for a particular purpose; or, a protocol for either developing and validating a PROM; or a protocol for applying a PROM in clinical research.
