Patient-Reported Outcomes Assessments:
Spotlight on the QOL General (QGEN®) 1-Minute Alternative to SF-36
About this webinar
In this webinar, the featured speaker, John Ware, developer of the SF-36, explains how the new 1-minute QGEN survey was developed and evaluated as a more efficient alternative to common SF-36, PROMIS and SF-8 measures, and how it was normed in a US probability sample of adults in 2020. Findings show that, while maintaining equivalent validity and average scores for common domains, QGEN items increase the range of measurement enough to reduce ceiling effects for the dual purposes of monitoring group outcomes and screening for low levels of functional health and well-being.
