NCT ID: NCT05393570

Last Updated: 2025-08-03

Results Overview

This survey includes 3 modules (Healthy Days Core Module = 4 questions, Activity Limitations Module = 5 questions, and the Healthy Days Symptoms Module = 5 questions). This survey is not based on a summary score. Instead to evaluate the score unhealthy days are the estimated total number of days in a 30 day period where participants felt their physical or mental health was not good. Survey responses from question 2 and 3 in the Healthy Days Core Module are combined to get overall unhealthy days.
