Project description
Current sleep PROMS are often diagnosis-focused, make biased assumptions about symptoms, and lack validation. The ESQ was developed as a transdiagnostic tool to comprehensively assess sleep features, symptom severity, frequency and bothersomeness, consisting of baseline and follow-up parts for use in clinical practice and research. This dissertation explores sleep PROMs and details the development and validation of a new PROM.
