Measure Justification
The World Health Organization has defined health as Òa state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmityÓ (WHO, 1948). While the importance of social support to overall health outcomes has been well established (Broadhead et al., 1983; Bruhn & Philips, 1984; McDowell, 2006; Mitchell, Billings, & Moos, 1982), social health has been a domain that historically has lacked agreed definitions and measures for clinical populations (Hahn, Cella, Bode, & Hanrahan, 2010). Few measures have been developed that effectively measure outcomes across clinical disorders, or that focus on individual, non-clinical factors influencing outcomes (McQuaid, Marx, Rosen, Bufka, Tenhula,, Cook & Keane, 2012)
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS; www.nihpromis.org) adopted the World Health Organization framework to define three components of health: physical, mental and social (see http://www.nihpromis.org/measures/domainframework). The PROMIS Social Health Workgroup conducted a systematic review of social health definitions, content, and item wording, and implemented a qualitative item review process that included identification of items, development of new items, focus group exploration of domain coverage and cognitive interviews. Within the social health framework, the PROMIS social health is comprised of social function and social relationships, with the social function further divided into two domains, Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities (SRA), and Satisfaction with SRA.
The PROMIS adult Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities item bank assesses the perceived ability to perform oneÕs usual social roles and activities. Items are worded negatively in terms of perceived limitations, but responses are reverse-coded so that higher scores represent fewer limitations (better abilities). The item bank does not use a time frame (e.g. over the past seven days) when assessing ability to participate in social roles and activities.
This measure focuses on the domain of ability to participate in social roles and activities as a social health outcome that crosses diagnostic categories and treatment interventions.
