Mission: The mission of the Outcomes Measurement Methods Core Program is to provide investigators, key personnel, and trainees with research collaboration, education, and consultation in the selection and development of measurement tools for translational and clinical research projects.
Goals include helping investigators to:
- Select and develop measurement tools including survey questionnaires, interviews, and other non-laboratory outcome measures for the development, conduct, and analysis of research projects
- Identify existing standardized tools that measure medical, psychological, and behavioral factors
- Foster the use of information systems such as electronic medical record
and computerized order entry in the conduct of clinical trials
- Adapt existing instruments and create new instruments to meet specific study needs
- Score and interpret measures
- Write grant sections describing measurement tools and data collection procedures
