Examples of MASQ in a sentence

  • In a post hoc simulation study (N = 3,597 psychiatric outpatients), we investigated whether the efficiency of the 90-item Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire (MASQ) could be improved for assessing clinical subjects with computerized adaptive testing (CAT).

  • Furthermore, the predictive utility of the CAT simulations was sufficient for all MASQ scales.

  • In the event that Supplier provides a total supply of RNG during Contract Years 1 through 15 in excess of 6,000,000 DTHs, Purchaser shall waive the MASQ for Contract Years 16 and 17.

  • Ideally, for efficient measurement of clinical subjects, all subscales of the MASQ are transformed into a CAT.

  • For example, it was demonstrated in Chapter 2 that CAT versions of the three MASQ subscales may lead to a mean decrease in items of 56% up to 74% with a negligible loss of measurement precision.

  • As a first item for all respondents, we therefore chose the MASQ item which had the highest information at this starting level: Item 86 for the PA scale (Felt really good about myself), Item 22 for the NA scale (Felt hopeless), and Item 79 for the SA scale (Was trembling or shaking).

  • Supplier agrees that Non-Conforming RNG shall not be applied to the calculation of Supplier’s satisfaction of the MASQ.

  • This conclusion was in line with previous studies that used US clinical samples to compare the US PROMIS CATs for Depression and Anxiety to several legacy instruments (Pilkonis et al., 2011, 2014), including the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scales (CESD), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire (MASQ).

  • In these studies, the number of items for each MASQ scale was fixed, but by doing so, the measurement precision for test outcomes could vary among respondents with different trait levels.

  • The full 90-item MASQ is an extensive questionnaire which has a unique way of assessing symptoms of the two most prevalent psychiatric syndromes, depression and anxiety disorders (according to the tripartite model), and takes into account the high comorbidity between both syndromes and high level of symptom overlap (▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, 1991).
