The Rhinitis Impact™ Survey is a 10-item, fixed-length survey designed to measure the impact of allergic rhinitis on
an individual's functional status and well-being. It can be integrated easily into many settings, including routine
clinical practice, disease management, or quality improvement initiatives. The Rhinitis Impact Survey:
- is fast to complete and score
- is precise, reliable, and valid
- covers a wide range of rhinitis impact
- discriminates between patients with differing levels of rhinitis
- can be used to measure change over time
- is easy for clinicians and patients to interpret
The Rhinitis Impact Survey's paper format makes it easy and fast to use. The questionnaire is self-administered and
can be completed in a clinical practice setting, at home, or in any other location. It can be administered as a
mail-back form or during telephone or face-to-face interviews.
This computerized adaptive survey draws on 37 items in an item pool selected to capture the effect of rhinitis and
its treatment on an individual's functional status and well-being. Online delivery of the survey uses
QualityMetric's DYNHA (computerized adaptive) health assessment software to
select and score only those items required to calculate a precise score for the individual. While the software
offers a unique short-form survey for each respondent, all items have been calibrated on the same metric,
enabling patients to compare their own scores over time and clinicians to compare scores across patients and over
time. Useful both for screening and for monitoring changes in disease impact, the survey can be completed in a
clinical practice setting, at home, or other locations. A simple patient-specific results report with interpretation
guidelines can be stored in an online Health Notebook™ or printed for immediate or later use. This report may also
be customized to fit the client's particular requirements.
DYNHA Rhinitis Impact Survey can be used alone, paired online with one of the SF™ Generic Health Surveys,
or included in a customized Burden of Disease Impact Assessment system.
A fixed-length short-form of the Rhinitis Impact Survey is also available in paper and pencil form for use
with adult rhinitis patients.
