SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 2 weeks from target visitPopulation: All 4 items asked of patients at baseline \& 2 weeks. Not all patients provided data at these time points. Continuous measure with control group mean fixed at zero at baseline.
Quality of Communication: patient ratings of clinician on seven aspects of end-of-life communication, each aspect having a pseudo-continuous response range of 0 ('clinician didn't do this') to 11 ('the very best I could imagine'). Measured with QOC items 1, 2, 5, \& 6 (measurement invariance imposed between groups and over time). Outcome is a latent variable, which is not observable, nor is it a composite score that can be mathematically computed (e.g., as a sum or average) from its measured indicators. Instead, it is an abstract construct that is inferred through a mathematical model; it represents a concept and is, therefore, a hypothetical variable. Theoretical range: unknown; the latent variable is a hypothetical - not an actual - variable Actual range: inapplicable; cannot be determined; this is an indirectly-measured latent variable; Higher value indicates better outcome (i.e., higher quality communication) Unit of measurement: scores on a scale
