This longitudinal study evaluates whether the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement and Information System (PROMIS)-16 domains capture average change over time comparable to the PROMIS-29 + 2 and have similar associations with change in overall health rating and two disability indices. Data were collected using Amazon's Mechanical Turk at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months among individuals reporting chronic low back pain. The analytic sample includes respondents who completed baseline and at least one follow-up assessment (N = 1137). We estimated latent growth models for eight PROMIS domains and compared growth parameters between the PROMIS-16 and PROMIS 29 + 2 with a z-test. Additionally, for each domain, random intercept and slope scores for individuals were computed for the PROMIS-29 + 2 and PROMIS-16 and correlated to estimate concordance. Using growth parameters for physical function and pain interference, we predicted average change in the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), the overall health rating, and compared regression coefficients between the PROMIS-16 and PROMIS 29 + 2. All growth models fit the data well. Intercept and slope parameters were statistically comparable (p's > 0.05) in magnitude across all domains between the PROMIS-16 and PROMIS-29 + 2. Correlations between random intercept and slope scores for individuals across domains were high. Additionally, the regression coefficients between slopes for pain interference and physical function and ODI, RMDQ, and overall health rating were statistically comparable (p's > 0.05) between the PROMIS-16 and PROMIS 29 + 2. Results provide between-level support for the longitudinal and predictive validity of the PROMIS-16. Similar average baseline scores and changes over time were observed between PROMIS-16 and PROMIS-29 + 2. Further, average change estimates comparably predicted average change in distal outcomes. This work provides evidence supporting the utility of the PROMIS-16 as a viable, short-profile option for use in clinical and research settings.
