Special Section: Advancing Methods to Assess Patient-Reported Outcomes: Lessons Learned from the PROMIS® Initiative

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) is one of the largest applications of item response theory (IRT) outside of educational assessment. The PROMIS project developed a plethora of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures for use in research and clinical assessment. PROMIS is now the gold standard for patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurement.

The set of papers in this special section of Psychometrika discuss some of the lessons learned and identify future psychometric directions for HRQOL researchers.
