Highlights
- •PROMIS offers assessment options for multiple aspects of pain.
- •The authors qualitatively evaluated the PROMIS pain framework in pediatric pain patients.
- •The authors describe qualitative steps for crafting pain behavior and quality item candidates.
- •PROMIS domains capture reportable pain outcomes that matter to children with pain.
- •Pain coping warrants further study for item bank development.

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an NIH Roadmap initiative to develop a computerized system measuring patient-reported outcomes in respondents with a wide range of chronic diseases and demographic characteristics. PROMIS II was funded by cooperative agreements with a Statistical Center (Northwestern University; principal investigator [PI], David Cella, PhD, 1U54AR057951), a Technology Center (Northwestern University; PI, Richard C. Gershon, PhD, 1U54AR057943), a Network Center (American Institutes for Research; PI, Susan (San) D. Keller, PhD, 1U54AR057926), and 13 Primary Research Sites, which may include more than 1 institution (State University of New York, Stony Brook; PIs, Joan E. Broderick, PhD and Arthur A. Stone, PhD, 1U01AR057948. University of Washington, Seattle; PIs: Heidi M. Crane, MD, MPH, Paul K. Crane, MD, MPH, and Donald L. Patrick, PhD, 1U01AR057954.
