Abstract
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®) is a collection of person-centered measures of physical, mental, and social health in children and adults. Developed using state-of-the-art psychometric methods, these measures are offered as fixed-length questionnaires and computerized adaptive tests, with translations available in Spanish and other languages. This special issue presents articles that illustrate the use of PROMIS® measures to advance health behavior research across a wide range of health studies.

We are pleased to present this special issue of Health Psychology, featuring outcomes research and applications of universal health-related quality of life measures produced under the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®) initiative. PROMIS began in 2004 as a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap initiative, and subsequently was converted to one of the most visible trans-NIH Common Fund efforts, with continued support through 2014. Today, PROMIS measures comprise more than 2,000 individual self-report adult and pediatric health items across physical, mental, and social domains. Information about PROMIS and downloadable assessment and scoring materials can be found at www .healthmeasures.net.
