“…Other studies have found negligible DIF of PROMIS items yet propose the value of examining DIF as a tool to implement assessments appropriately (e.g., Cook, Bamer, Amtmann, Molton, & Jensen, 2012; Coster et al, 2016; Hong et al, 2016). Moreover, similar effect sizes (pseudo R 2 = .001 to .003) have been associated with impactful DIF in other studies (Crane et al, 2007).…”

Background: Health literacy reflects a person's reading and numeracy abilities applied to understanding health-related information. These skills may influence how patients report symptoms, leading to underestimates or overestimates of symptom severity. No prior studies have examined health literacy measurement bias. Objective: The purpose of the current study was to determine whether PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) anxiety and depression short forms, administered by interview, capture symptoms equally across health literacy groups. We examined the psychometric properties of PROMIS anxiety and depression short forms using differential item functioning (DIF) analysis by level of health literacy. Methods: The sample analyzed included 888 adults, age 55 to 74 years, in Chicago, IL. Health literacy was measured using the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults. PROMIS short forms assessed anxiety and depression. Key Results: DIF was present in 3 of 8 depression items, and 3 of 7 anxiety items. All items flagged for DIF had lower item-slopes for people with limited health literacy. Conclusions: Items with DIF were less strongly related to anxiety and depression, and thus less precise. Overall, impact of DIF on PROMIS scores was negligible, likely mitigated by interview administration. Although overall test impact of health literacy was minimal, DIF analyses flagged items that were potentially too complex for people with limited health literacy. Design and validation of patient-reported surveys should incorporate respondents with a range of health literacy and methods to identify and reduce measurement bias. [ HLRP: Health Literacy Research and Practice . 2019;3(3):e196–e204.] Plain Language Summary: This study suggests that people with limited health literacy may respond differently to questions about depression and anxiety than people with adequate health literacy. Therefore, it is important to be aware of differences in literacy ability when creating and using questionnaires.

“…[1, 30, 31, 38] Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used to investigate the underlying structure (dimensionality) of the item bank using Mplus version 7.11. [39] Because the data was treated as ordered categorical, all model parameters were estimated using the weighted least square mean-and-variance adjusted (WLSMV) estimator and a one-factor solution.…”

“…The detailed psychometric results for one of the banks (Managing Daily Activities) have been previously published [38], but an overview of the findings from all the banks is presented here. Internal consistency of the five PROMIS Self-efficacy banks and short forms was high, with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.96–0.97 for the full bank, 0.90–0.95 for the 8-item short forms, and 0.85–0.92 for the 4-item short forms.…”

Purpose The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®) was designed to develop, validate, and standardize item banks to measure key domains of physical, mental and social health in chronic conditions. This paper reports the calibration and validation testing of the PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions measures. Methods PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions item banks comprise five domains, Self-Efficacy for Managing: Daily Activities, Symptoms, Medications and Treatments, Emotions, and Social Interactions. Banks were calibrated in 1087 subjects from two data sources: 837 patients with chronic neurologic conditions (epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, neuropathy, Parkinson disease, and stroke) and 250 subjects from an online internet sample of adults with general chronic conditions. Scores were compared with one legacy scale: Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item scale (SEMCD6) and five PROMIS short forms: Global Health (Physical and Mental), Physical Function, Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety. Results The sample was 57% female, mean age=53.8 (SD=14.7), 76% white, 21% African American, 6% Hispanic and 76% with greater than high school education. Full item banks were created for each domain. All measures had good internal consistency and correlated well with SEMCD6 (r=0.56–0.75). Significant correlations were seen between the Self-Efficacy measures and other PROMIS short forms (r>0.38). Conclusions The newly developed PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions measures include five domains of self-efficacy that were calibrated across diverse chronic conditions and show good internal consistency and cross-sectional validity.

“…2, the first box is called Falls Specific and contains six subdomains: (1) fall-related self-efficacy or fall selfefficacy, (2) fear of falling, (3) balance confidence, (4) consequences of falling, (5) perceived control over falling, and (6) perceived ability to manage falls [27][28][29]. A second box is called Self-efficacy of Managing Chronic Disease, a domain that in the future should be measured by the new PROMIS self-efficacy item banks including five subdomains: (1) self-efficacy of managing symptoms, (2) self-efficacy of managing emotions, (3) self-efficacy of managing daily activities, (4) self-efficacy of managing medications and treatments, and (5) self-efficacy of managing social interactions [30]. The third box is called Other Fall-related Self-efficacy and contains four constructs: (1) self-efficacy of physical activity, (2) self-efficacy of neighborhood barriers, (3) self-efficacy of gait, and (4) self-efficacy of mobility [27,31,32].…”

Falls are dangerous and costly for older adults. The A Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader (AMOB/VLL) program is an evidence-based fall risk reduction program that could help reduce this burden. This study introduced a door-through-door transportation program to improve program delivery (N = 126). Characteristics predicting completion of all eight AMOB/VLL sessions were identified using logistic regression. Individual growth models were employed to determine the immediate, intermediate, and long-term goal outcomes resulting from receiving an adequate dose of the program (five to eight sessions). Self-restriction of activities due to fear of falling (OR 5.04, 95 % CI 1.86-13.69) and a lower frequency of moderate and vigorous physical activity (OR 1.14, 95 % CI 1.04-1.27) were significantly predictive of receiving a complete dose. Three outcome goals were significant, including (1) immediate-improved self-efficacy of managing medications and treatments, (2) intermediate-reduced activity limitations, and (3) intermediate-reduced physical disability. Self-restriction of activities due to a fear of falling and physical activity levels may be simple and effective screening questions to prevent AMOB/VLL attrition. In our study, those who did receive the program improved on a specific type of self-efficacy and on self-reported physical functioning.
