SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 9 weeks

Questionnaire used to assess various domains of family functioning. The SCORE-15 generates a cumulative score and three subscales: Strengths and Adaptability (range = 5-25), Overwhelmed by Difficulties (range = 0-20), and Disrupted Communication (range = 0-20). The cumulative sum score ranges from 5-65. Higher average scores on the 0-4 and 1-5 scales indicate "worse" family functioning on subscales and the cumulative score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 9 weeks.

Questionnaire used to assess symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Items on the PCL-5 are summed, resulting in cumulative scores ranging from 0-80. Additionally, the PCL-5 provides four index scores that parallel the symptom clusters for a DSM-5 PTSD diagnosis. Initial research suggests an overall cutoff score of 31-33 is clinically significant. Higher scores are indicative of "worse" functioning." The score range for Subscale B (5 items) is 0-20. The score range for Subscale C (2 items) is 0-8. The score range for Subscale D (7 items) is 0-28. The score range for Subscale E (6 items) is 0-24. Scoring guidance suggests that cumulative scores are most meaningful in terms of a provisional diagnosis of PTSD. Higher subscale scores are indicative of "worse" functioning for the specific symptom cluster assessed on that subscale.

Population: The CEFIS was added to the measure battery after the measure was created in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, only the subset of patients who enrolled after the onset of the pandemic were administered the CEFIS.

Added to study battery after development in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Exploratory analysis. The CEFIS has two parts. Part 1 (Exposure) includes the Exposure scale which consists of 25 Yes/No items with a total score of 0 to 25. Higher scores denote more (negative) exposure. Part 2 (Impact) includes the Impact and Distress scales. The Impact scale consists of 10 items which use a 4-point Likert scale (values from 1 - 4) rating impact on participant's and family's life. The mean of the 10 items is the total Impact Scale Score. Higher scores denote a more negative impact. The Distress scale consists of 2 items with a 10-point distress scale (values from 1 - 10 for each item). The mean of these two items is the total Distress Scale Score. Higher scores denote more distress from COVID-19. The values below for Impact and Distress are the average participant subscale scores.
