A711translations based on analysis of qualitative data collected during pilot-testing. In an effort to create a universal Spanish version, linguists from various Spanishspeaking countries were recruited to achieve a translation that could be used in all regions in which Spanish is spoken. Results: After the translation phase was completed, psychometric testing was carried out. 485 adult items and 139 pediatric items from 11 subdomains were tested with native Spanish speakers (2,500 adults and 1,200 children) from an online general population panel. Different item banks exhibited various levels of differential item functioning (DIF) across Spanish and English speaking populations. In order to retain all items in each bank, a hybrid approach was used in which English calibration metrics were used for non-DIF items and Spanish calibrations were used for items exhibiting DIF. ConClusions: Spanish Computer Adaptive Tests (CATs) for Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Physical Function and Sleep Disturbance are currently available in Assessment Center (www. assessmentcenter.net).
Patient's characteristics, drug utilization patterns and resource utilization were analyzed. Results: Data were available for a sample of 244 eligible patients. The average age of the study population was 24.3 years (SD= 12.5). While the maximum medication possession ratio (MPR) for alternate month administration is 50%, patients on TIP had an average MPR of 52.8%, while patients on TIS and OTF had an average MPR of 41.4% and 39.7%, respectively. Treatment persistence at 3 months was estimated at 85.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
