PROMIS (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) PGH7: PROMIS Pediatric Global Health Scale
Generic-Specific Modules
Measure domains: Overall health, quality of life, mental health, physical health, and social support
Summary of development:
The Pediatric Global Health (PGH-7) measure is dedicated to Health-Related Quality of Life assessment in children. It is an overall evaluation of one’s physical and mental health that is designed to mimic the adult PROMIS Global measure. The PGH-7 comprises a seven-item summary of a participant’s general, physical, mental, and social health. The measure can be administered as a patient self-report for children aged 8–17 years or as a parent proxy report for children aged 5–17 years. There is also a 7+2 version with questions about sleep and energy, but these items are not used in scoring.
