Abstract:听

Response shift, a change in the meaning of an individual鈥檚 self-evaluation of a health measure, is known to be a potential source of bias in longitudinal analyses of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) data and other patient-reported outcomes. This presentation will examine different methods to test for response shift, including a new method based on measures of the change in the relative importance of HRQOL domains over time. As well, some recent developments in the use of latent variable scoring methods to adjust for the effects of response shift will be explored.
