认知访谈（CI）是一种越来越多地用于在问卷开发过程中获得受访者对潜在项目的反馈的技术。在决定保留、修改或删除潜在项目时，没有标准的指导方针来纳入CI反馈。我们使用CI为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）患者报告结局测量信息系统（PROMIS）路线图计划开发疲劳项目。我们的目的是描述CI过程，正式评估CI的基础上作出的决定的效用，并为未来的研究提供建议。参与者是22名患有各种慢性健康状况的患者。在CI期间，每个参与者都对一系列项目提供了反馈。然后，我们审查了CI数据，并决定是否保留、修改或删除每个潜在项目。在此之后，我们开发或采用了三种定量方法来比较保留和删除的项目。保留的项目引起的严重关切较少，不太可能被视为不适用，CI在开发PROMIS疲劳项目中是有用的，用于判断当前项目集CI的方法可能对未来有用调查事务所
Cognitive Interviewing (CI) is a technique increasingly used to obtain respondent feedback on potential items during questionnaire development. No standard guidelines exist by which to incorporate CI feedback in deciding to retain, revise, or eliminate potential items. We used CI in developing fatigue items for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Roadmap initiative. Our aims were to describe the CI process, formally evaluate the utility of decisions made on the basis of CI, and offer suggestions for future research.Participants were 22 patients with a diverse range of chronic health conditions. During CI, each participant provided feedback on a series of items. We then reviewed the CI data and decided whether to retain, revise, or eliminate each potential item. Following this, we developed or adopted three quantitative methods to compare retained versus eliminated items.Retained items raised fewer serious concerns, were less likely to be viewed as non-applicable, and were less likely to display problems with clarity or to make incorrect assumptions about respondents.CI was useful in developing the PROMIS fatigue items and the methods used to judge CI for the present item set may be useful for future investigations.
