Measurement framework and approaches for different age ranges and conditions in pediatric populations
From childhood to adolescence, every child experiences changes in their roles and responsibilities and this in turn, changes the perceptions of their own functioning. This developmental change can affect the weight of the domains that make up the construct measured, or interpretation of the construct measured.
During the second session of the 2022 Measuring What Matters Symposium, speakers will discuss measurement frameworks, response shift and factors associated with measuring/collecting QOL/HRQL in pediatric population.
