Development and Initial Validation of Self-Report Measures of General Gealth, Pre-Operative Anxiety, and Post-Operative Pain in Young Children Using Computer-Administered Animation.

CONCLUSIONS: The CHRIS measures were reliable and valid in this diverse sample of young children (4-12). Because CHRIS measures are self-administered, scored in real time, and run on multiple different platforms, this approach provides a feasible method for the collection of HRQOL in young children and those with limited literacy. Our data indicate that this approach is psychometrically sound and has the potential for adding the child's voice to pediatric outcomes.
