简要总结
Objectives: The ultimate goal of this research program is to promote seamless, comprehensive care for Operation Enduring Freedom/ Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans. The purpose of this study is to develop a psychometrically sound tool to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) applicable to wounded warriors with TBI (deployment-related TBI).
详细描述
Specific short-term objectives for this study include:
O1: Identify a parsimonious set of domains that capture HRQOL in deployment-related TBI.
O2: Construct and refine clinically-relevant HRQOL of life item banks for deployment-related TBI, in order to supplement the TBI-QOL and generic Neuro-QOL banks and extend the TBI/Neuro-QOL projects to address the unique issues facing wounded warriors with TBI.
O3:Utilize Item Response Theory methodology to refine and calibrate targeted and generic item banks for use with deployment-related TBI.
O4:Develop a short form, refining item sets and developing algorithms for future development of a computerized adaptive test.
