简介：PROMIS吸烟倡议开发了一个评估工具包，用于测量吸烟研究感兴趣的6个领域：尼古丁依赖、应对期望、情感和感官期望、健康期望、心理社会期望和吸烟的社会动机。本增刊中的论文描述了用于开发这些试题库的方法，它们的心理测量特性，以及它们有效性的初步证据。这篇评论是为了提供背景信息的材料，在此supplement.METHODS：讨论后使用项目反应理论的行为measurement. I将简要回顾吸烟评估工具包的初步发展步骤。最后，我将描述本补充的内容，并提供一些闭幕词。结果：心理测量学证据强烈支持工具包的项目银行，简短的形式（SF），和计算机自适应测试（CAT）的效用。日常吸烟者的项目库产生的评分的可靠性估计值在0.90以上，每个吸烟领域连续体的范围很广，SF和CAT管理也实现了高可靠性（通常大于0.85），使用很少的项目（大多数银行4-7个项目）。非日常吸烟者的银行表现相似。初步证据支持银行domains.CONCLUSIONS：新的吸烟评估工具包有吸引力的测量功能，很可能有利于吸烟研究的研究人员开始利用这一资源的并发和判别有效性。关于工具包和评估的信息可在项目网站（http：//www.rand.org/health/projects/promis-smoking-initiative.html）上查阅，也可通过PROMIS评估中心（www.assessmentcenter.net）查阅。
INTRODUCTION: The PROMIS Smoking Initiative has developed an assessment toolkit for measuring 6 domains of interest to cigarette smoking research: nicotine dependence, coping expectancies, emotional and sensory expectancies, health expectancies, psychosocial expectancies, and social motivations for smoking. The papers in this supplement describe the methods used to develop these item banks, their psychometric properties, and the preliminary evidence for their validity. This commentary is meant to provide background information for the material in this supplement.METHODS: After discussing the use of item response theory in behavioral measurement, I will briefly review the initial developmental steps for the smoking assessment toolkit. Finally, I will describe the contents of this supplement and provide some closing remarks.RESULTS: Psychometric evidence strongly supports the utility of the toolkit of item banks, short forms (SFs), and computer adaptive tests (CATs). The item banks for daily smokers produce scores with reliability estimates above 0.90 for a wide range of each cigarette smoking domain continuum, and SF and CAT administrations also achieve high reliability (generally greater than 0.85) using very few items (4-7 items for most banks). Performance of the banks for nondaily smokers is similar. Preliminary evidence supports the concurrent and the discriminant validity of the bank domains.CONCLUSIONS: The new smoking assessment toolkit has attractive measurement features that are likely to benefit smoking research as researchers begin to utilize this resource. Information about the toolkit and access to the assessments is available at the project Web site (http://www.rand.org/health/projects/promis-smoking-initiative.html) and can also be accessed via the PROMIS Assessment Center (www.assessmentcenter.net).
