PROMIS Companionship

PROMIS. "Companionship" item bank and scoring manual.

Key findings used in wiki

  • PROMIS treats companionship as a distinct, positively-worded construct with standardized T-score interpretation.
  • Higher T-scores mean more companionship, not merely less isolation.
  • The item bank focuses on whether a person has someone to relax with, enjoy time with, call, celebrate with, or otherwise feel accompanied by.
  • This matters in the wiki because it supports the claim that positive social connection is not identical to the absence of social isolation.
  • In GiveCare's methodology pages, it helps justify why the product tries to track both pressures and supports rather than only deficit signals.
