Sample A: Cross-sectional Survey | Sample B: Score Linking Survey | Sample C: Pain observations Study | |
---|---|---|---|

Recruitment | Participants from previous UW or UNC studies, patients at UW Pain Clinic, flyers at other Seattle clinics, and web posting on UW website | Random subset of PwP who participated in either Sample A or Sample C and indicated interest in participating in future research studies | Participants from Sample A, clinician referrals, advertisements, flyers, web postings |

Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria | |||
PwP | Self-report of at least one of 3 target clinical conditions; ≥ 18 years of age; read/understand English; SO who spends ≥ 7 hours/week with them and willing to participate; average pain in past week ≥ 3 (0–10 scale), persisting ≥ 6 months; and able to walk (with or without assistive device). Individuals who used wheelchairs most or all of the time were excluded because use of a wheelchair could impact how and what pain behaviors are displayed. | Same as for Sample A except no SO reporting was required. | Same as for Sample A except that self-reported average 7 day pain score required to be ≥ 3 (0–10 scale), and pain reported to affect walking, sitting or reclining. Participants were not required to have a SO. |

SOs | Nominated by PwP and willing to participate. | n/a | n/a |

Data collected | |||
PwP | Demographics, clinical status, candidate PaB-SR items, other pain measures | Subset of PaB-SR items and PROMIS items that had the same item content but different response scales. | Demographics, clinical status, current pain (0–10), candidate PaB-SR items, other pain measures |
| |||
SOs | Demographics, parallel items to candidate PaB-SR items, UAB Pain Behavior Scale | n/a | n/a |

How data were used | Item-level validity, score level validity | Align PaB-SR scores to PROMIS metric | Item-level validity, score level validity |
