Can item response theory reduce respondent burden in health assessments?
08-14-2001

A UK study of the 10-item SF-36 Physical Functioning (PF) scale demonstrates the potential practical benefits of item response theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Although the requirements of the IRT models that make CAT-type assessments possible present a challenge to researchers, Crispen Jenkinson and his colleagues document the potential value of meeting this challenge in terms of reducing respondent burden among adults with Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders sampled from European countries (J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiatry, 2001; 71:220-224). As discussed in their article, the use of calibrated item pools from widely used functional health surveys in a CAT system for assessing health has already begun (e.g., the QualityMetric Dynamic Health Assessment - DynHA - System.
