The Patient-Centered Outcomes Core has developed a new tool kit to provide resources to support the capture of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in diverse study populations. The tool kit is intended for research teams conducting pragmatic clinical trials, including those participating in the NIH Pragmatic Trials NIH Collaboratory Trials.

This tool kit contains 3 sections:

• Brief background about how PROs can provide critical information about the patient experience, but they must be culturally and linguistically appropriate to be valid.
• A checklist focused on health equity considerations and PROs, which was adapted from the Center for Nursing Research at Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) INFusE (Implementing a New Focus on Equity in Research) Checklist in order to focus on PRO measures and health equity.
• An additional resources document that provides links to virtual libraries containing a range of existing translated and/or culturally adapted PRO measures, links to relevant peer-reviewed literature focused on PRO collection in pragmatic trials, and other tool kits to support equity in the collection of patient-centered outcomes and the conduct of pragmatic research.
