The database (Version 1.1, 20/November/2020) is a Microsoft Excel©-based electronic library containing detailed information about 204 PROM questionnaires and their metadata collected through a systematic literature review (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34949634/).
Information about each instrument is organised into the following sections: i) basic information (e.g. target age group, number of items, time of completion, available language versions); ii) scoring; iii) validity of the instrument; and iv) practical information, including a link to the manual and terms of use, if available, for the specific instrument. The questionnaires are arranged alphabetically and by specific characteristics.
Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are instruments used for the subjective assessment of the health status/quality of life provided directly by the patient. The PECUNIA PROM-MH Compendium is an open-access database containing information on PROM instruments that are generic (i.e. can be used across all disease areas), and used in mental health research across all age groups.
The database is suitable for any health professionals, service providers and researchers who want to use PROMs in their research or clinical practice. Further information is available at: https://www.pecunia-project.eu/tools/prom-mh-compendium.
