Service - Instrument Development

Roundpeg Research has diverse experience in the development of patient-reported outcome measures, from patient diaries to clinical scales.

Using the best development methodology, we draw on the expertise of patients, caregivers, clinicians and other health professionals, to ensure that the content of any new instrument is relevant to the target patient group. Methodologies may include:

• Literature reviews
• Qualitative data collection and analysis
• Item generation
• Instrument design
• Pilot-testing
• Item reduction
• Cognitive debriefing
• Instrument validation
• Psychometric analysis

Within this methodological framework, instruments can either be developed within a single language and culture, or cross-culturally, where multiple language versions of an instrument are developed concurrently.

Roundpeg Research is a Health Outcomes Research company based in the UK, specialising in international Patient-Reported Outcomes within the pharmaceutical sector.
