Costs for Services
For instances when the administration platform does not automatically calculate a score, two scoring methods for most HealthMeasures are available for free. The first option is the HealthMeasures Scoring Service, a web-based tool that calculates scores for most PROMIS®, Neuro-QoL™, ASCQ-Me®, and NIH Toolbox® Emotion original and customized short forms. A user uploads a file with response scores and receives a scored file by email. The second free option is for users to calculate scores by hand using instructions in Scoring Manuals. Learn more>>

We offer training and consulting on all aspects of measurement, from instrument development to quantitative analysis of data, and planning for clinical research and clinical care. For advice beyond an initial consultation, HealthMeasures experts can be included as co-investigators on grant/contract submissions for a specified percent effort or as consultants on a fee-for-service model. Our scientists are trained in methods applied to the development of HealthMeasures tools, including qualitative and quantitative methods. This includes item response theory (IRT) methods and their many applications, such as custom short form development and computer adaptive testing (CAT). Our team also has expertise in clinical trial planning, including research design, psychometrics and regulatory strategy. For further information, please contact us at help@HealthMeasures.net.

We periodically offer workshops and training opportunities through HealthMeasures and the PROMIS Health Organization. These include instruction for the administration of NIH Toolbox, education on measurement topics (e.g., hands-on training to link the scores from different measures), and application of HealthMeasures (e.g., use of patient-reported outcomes in clinical practice). Some webinars are available on demand. See Workshops and Events or contact us at help@HealthMeasures.net to discuss custom trainings.

CAT Algorithms, IRT Parameters, and Test Cases are available as part of the Assessment Center API license (see Assessment Center Application Programming Interface). We do not directly provide CAT algorithms or CAT algorithm code. The algorithms and some of the parameters used in various HealthMeasures instrument systems are available in the published literature.
HealthMeasures does not directly translate its measures into other languages. However, we do manage all of the translation efforts to ensure quality and consistency. Information about required translation methodology and referral to approved translation vendors can be made by HealthMeasures staff. A list of translations is available for PROMIS, Neuro-QoL, and NIH Toolbox. Selected Spanish language measure PDFs of PROMIS and Neuro-QoL are available in Search & View Measures. For more information, please contact us at help@HealthMeasures.net.
Please note that translation of many of the NIH Toolbox tests, including all of the cognition tests, require the creation of a new app to support these translations.
