What this trial measures

  • The Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12), mental health composition score (6-items, MCS)baseline, 3 and 6 months

    The Veterans RAND 12-item (VR-12) is a brief, multi-use, self-administered survey that is used primarily to assess health-related quality of life, to estimate disease burden, and to evaluate disease-specific benchmarks with other populations. The 12 items in the questionnaire correspond to eight principal physical and mental health domains including general health perceptions; physical functioning; role limitations due to physical and emotional problems; bodily pain; energy-fatigue, social functioning and mental health. The 12 items are summarized into two scores, a "Physical Health Summary Measure {PCS-physical component score}" and a "Mental Health Summary Measure {MCS-mental component score}". VR-12 scores are standardized using a T-score metric ranging from 1-100, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Scores below 50 indicate worse mental health than the general population average.
