Measurement Comparability Between Modes of Administration of PROMs

Objective

This task force’s goal is to revisit and update the good practice recommendations from the 2009 ISPOR ePRO Good Research Practices Task Force and the 2014 PRO Mixed Modes Good Research Practices Task Force reports in light of the accumulated evidence of measurement comparability between paper and electronic modes of PRO data collection and between different electronic modes of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). The task force will provide recommendations related to mixing modes of administration, BYOD, and the need (or otherwise) to proactively demonstrate comparability between modes of administration.

Rationale

With the accumulation of evidence of measurement comparability between and among modes of data collection, as well as the US FDA’s encouragement of electronic data capture, it is appropriate to initiate a new ISPOR Good Practices Task Force to update the 2 previous ISPOR task force reports on the electronic implementation of PROMs in clinical trials (Coons et al 2009; Eremenco et al 2014) in order to provide stakeholders with best practice recommendations that reflect the growing evidence base.
