Note.
Veterans with PROMIS scores at both Time 1 and Time 2 (longitudinal analyses sample) presented in this table; see Table S1 for data from the full Time 2 sample.
For EPII, percent scores are displayed, which are linear transformations of EPII total count scores for ease of interpretation.
T-score equivalents of the mean PROMIS scores based on general population normative data are as follows: Global physical health (T1) = 42.9, Global physical health (T2) = 42.5, Global mental health (T1) = 40.6, Global mental health (T2) = 40.2, Depression (T1) = 57.2, Depression (T2) = 57.5, Anxiety (T1) = 58.5, Anxiety (T2) = 59.5. M = mean, SD = standard deviation, T1 = Time 1, T2 = Time 2, VA = United States Veterans Affairs, EPII = Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory, PROMIS = Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System.
