Comparison of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS ®)-29 and PROMIS global physical and mental health scores

ConclusionsPROMIS-29 and PROMIS global mental health scales provide different information and, therefore, study conclusions may vary depending on which measure is used. Interpretation of results needs to consider that the PROMIS-29 mental health scale is a weighted combination of specific domains while the PROMIS global mental health scale is based on general mental health perceptions. Further comparisons of methods of assessing mental health are needed.
