PROMIS® developed pediatric measures for the functions, symptoms, behaviors, and feelings shown here. Self-report measures are used for children ages 5-17. Parent proxy-report measures are used for children ages 5-17. Measures are applicable to the general population and to those with chronic conditions.

PROMIS Pediatric Global Health Item Bank (PGH-7) and (PGH-7+2)

The PROMIS Pediatric Global Health item bank (PHG-7) assesses a child’s overall evaluations of his or her physical, mental, and social health. The item bank is conceptually equivalent to its PROMIS adult counterpart, and 4 of its 7 items are the same as the adult edition. The pediatric global health measure includes a single factor, whereas the adult edition has physical and mental health components. The PROMIS Pediatric Global Health (PGH-7) item bank uses an “In General” item context as it is intended to globally reflect an individuals’ assessment of their health.

In addition to the PGH-7 item bank, a PGH-7+2 short form is available and is comprised of the PGH-7 items plus 2 additional items that assess pain and fatigue. The additional 2 items are not factored into the overall scale score. Instead, the score is derived from the PGH-7 items as noted above, and the responses from the 2 additional items are each provided.

Physical Health Item Banks

PROMIS Pediatric Physical Activity

The PROMIS Pediatric Physical Activity item bank assesses a child's performance of activities that require physical actions that reflect the level of bodily movement, ranging from simple static behaviors with minimal muscle activity to more complex activities that require dynamic or sustained muscle activity and greater movement of the body. Physical activity behaviors are performed across non-hierarchical contexts related to the purpose (e.g. self-care, sports, school, recreation), physical environment (e.g. school home, community) and social situations (e.g. alone, family, peers). The Physical Activity item bank measures can be used alone or in conjunction with motion data from objective monitors (e.g. accelerometers and heart rate monitors).

The Pediatric Physical Activity item bank uses a 7-day reporting period and has 10 items.

PROMIS Pediatric Pain Quality

The PROMIS Pediatric Pain Quality item bank assesses the specific physical sensations associated with pain.
