Linkage between the PROMIS® pediatric and adult emotional distress measures.PURPOSE
 This study links the PROMIS pediatric and adult emotional distress measures using data from participants with diverse health conditions and disabilities.


 Participants completed both PROMIS pediatric and adult measures.  The estimated latent-variable correlation between pediatric and adult PROMIS measures ranged from 0.87 to 0.94.  This study used a relatively new linking method, calibrated projection, to link PROMIS pediatric and adult measure scores, thus expanding the use of PROMIS measures to research that includes both populations.
