DYNHA Headache Impact Test

QualityMetric’s DYNHA^® Headache Impact Test™ is a brief, multi-question, computerized adaptive health assessment. It measures the impact of headaches and their treatment on an individual’s functional health and well-being. Intended for adults 18 years of age and older, this disease-specific survey is available in U.S. English. It surpasses traditional measures of disease-related disability by assessing relevant aspects of functional health and well-being, including physical functioning, social/role participation, ability to engage in recreational and leisure activities, psychological distress, and vitality.

The DYNHA Headache Impact Test is an Web-based survey that uses QualityMetric's computerized adaptive testing (CAT) technology to select and ask only those survey questions that are relevant to the level of functioning and well-being of a respondent in order to arrive at a precise score. The bank of 84 possible questions covers a broader range of functional health and well-being than fixed-length paper form questionnaires. Optional questions can also be used to obtain patient-reported information on pain, medications, and treatment satisfaction.

The Headache Impact Test (HIT-6), a fixed-length, six-question paper form survey, is also available.
