Instrument Details🔗

The ecPROMIS (Early Childhood Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) is a set of primary caregiver report questionnaires that offer clinicians and researchers a brief, efficient, and precise way to evaluate young children’s well-being. The ecPROMIS - Parent Report Sleep Problems (Short Form 8a) questionnaire is a measurement of Sleep Disturbance (trouble with sleep onset and maintenance) and Sleep-related Impairment (daytime function affected by poor sleep). It is validated for ages 1-5. As a PROMIS measure, the instrument has published scoring guidelines.
