  1. Effects of Mode and Order of Administration on Generic HRQOL Scores? Ron D. Hays, Seong Eun Kim, Karen Spritzer, and Honghu Liu UCLA 1:00-2:00 pm

  2. Health Measurement in Patients Tracking Clinical Outcomes Study • Self-administration (mail) of HRQOL measures at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-baseline. • SF-36v2TM, QWB, EQ-5D, HUI • Telephone interview at 6 months post-baseline • Participants randomized to order of mail/phone administration at 6 months

  3. Analysis • Differences in days between survey dates • -133 to 54 days (mail – phone) • 57% were within 3 weeks • 318 patients at 6 months: • 92 heart failure • 226 cataract surgery • Random intercept model (PROC Mixed), controlling for gender, age, race, education, and site (UCSD, UCLA, Wisconsin by heart failure and cataract).

  4. Means by Mode and Order

  5. Project 1 Later order of administration in telephone interview is significantly related to: - More positive HRQOL reports for EQ-5D (VA and U.S. preference score) and SF-36 (6D, PCS, MCS) - More negative for QWB-SA

  6. Max. Differences by HRQOL Measure

  7. Test-Retest Reliability Estimates

  8. Correlations among HRQOL Measures

  9. Results • The most positive generic HRQOL scores tend to be obtained when the measures are administered by phone after a mail administration whereas the least positive scores occur by mail after a phone administration. • Effect sizes range from small to moderate

  10. Conclusions • No doubt that these are differences that are beyond minimally important • Caution is needed when comparing HRQOL estimates if mode or order of administration varies
