Abstract Objective To examine the clinical validity of the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Sleep Disturbance (SD) and Sleep-Related Impairment (SRI) short forms. Methods Youth (8–17 years) from clinical populations with known SDs (sleep clinic n = 126, autism n = 276, asthma n = 82, asthma + eczema n = 68) and the general population (n = 902) completed the PROMIS Pediatric SD and SRI 8-item short forms, along with established measures of sleep (Children’s Report of Sleep Patterns, Sleep Habits Survey), PROMIS Pediatric Fatigue, and parent-reported clinical indicators (does child have sleep problem, use melatonin, use prescription sleep medication). Results Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated factorial invariance for all clinical groups. Significant differences between the general population and clinical groups were found for SD and SRI (medium to large effect sizes). Convergent validity was demonstrated through separate hierarchical regression models that showed significant associations between parent-reported clinical indicators and SD and SRI, above and beyond clinical group, as well as moderate to strong correlations between the PROMIS sleep measures and both established measures of sleep and fatigue. Conclusions The PROMIS Pediatric SD and SRI short forms provide clinicians and researchers a brief, accurate, and valid way to measure patient-reported sleep outcomes in pediatric populations.

The Worry Domains Questionnaire was proposed as a measure of both pathological and nonpathological worry, and assesses the frequency of worrying about five different domains: relationships, lack of confidence, aimless future, work, and financial. The present study analyzed the factor structure of the long and short forms of the WDQ (WDQ and WDQ-SF, respectively) through confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 262 students (M age = 21.8; SD = 2.6; 86.3% females). While the goodness-of-fit indices did not provide support for the WDQ, good fit indices were found for the WDQ-SF. Furthermore, no source of misspecification was identified, thus, supporting the factorial validity of the WDQ-SF scale. Significant positive correlations between the WDQ-SF and its subscales with worry (PSWQ), anxiety (STAI-T), and depression (BDI) were found. The internal consistency was good for the total scale and for the subscales. This work provides support for the use of the WDQ-SF, and potential uses for research and clinical purposes are discussed.
