“Instead of paying humans to join focus groups and complete surveys, #Auru uses thousands of #AI agents, or bots, to simulate human responses. It feeds #demographic and psychographic information into its models to create human profiles that match clients’ needs, and the results those bots spit out are being used for product #development, #pricing, identifying new customers and political #polling.”

Researchers have warned about the inaccuracies of treating #LLMs as human proxies (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10462-025-11297-5), but I wouldn’t be surprised #languageModels beat #qualitative interpretation of non-representative focus groups.

We* investigated how QoL/ #HRQoL instruments were used as outcome measures in substance and behavioural addictions. We found similar issues as this team regarding wide variety of measures, lack of theory, and issues around methodological quality:

Great to see @hudsongolino.bsky.social presenting on AI-GENIE at #ISOQOL

Firstly, the community hears and uses the words "the #PrePrint is out" too rarely, and here it is:

Second, it is great to see the strong theoretical underpinnings of exploratory graph analysis making their way into promising applications

New #AcademicYear - New #introduction

I am a researcher at #DundeeUni and interested in health-related quality of life
#HRQoL #Psychometrics

I teach #ResearchMethodology and #ResearchMethods with a focus on #Quantitative methods.

I worked for 7yrs as a #NightshiftEditor and I am still mulling over roles in and sense of #AcademicPublishing

This is mainly a work account, but I also post #Dundee stuff such as #DunDeCofaidh and occasional #Deutsch #Svenska #Gaidhlig (👉 pure work account at BSky)

A #SysReview of quality of life and #HRQoL instruments used in trials of interventions for adults with alcohol use disorder:
https://www.jsatjournal.com/article/S2949-8759(25)00172-9/fulltext

One of the interesting findings:
Although the team focused on the most frequently used instruments they found only very few studies reporting psychometric properties in this population.

This mirrors findings from our broader #SysReview of #HRQL as an outcome in substance and behavioural addictions

This #CostUtilityAnalysis of 'academic detailing' to enhance naloxone distribution for opioid users (i) shows it potentially cost-effective at WTP of US$50,000 per #QALY and (ii) it used #UtilityScores developed from #NIDA shared data*

* To develop these we used National Institute on Drug Abuse-published #RCT data

In 10k trials on the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group’s Register, 2194 different scales were employed with every fifth trial introducing a new rating instrument.

"Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement"

#PPIE

The aim is to capture the use of Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (#PPIE) in Patient-Reported Outcome-related research, such as the development of PRO measures and electronic PRO (ePRO) systems, as well as the implementation of PRO measures for healthcare research and clinical practice.

#ISOQOL #HRQOL #PatientCentered #Psychometrics

The first paper of the EQ-DAPHNIE project describes its rationale, design and data collection methods:

Online survey quota (age, sex, household income, area of residence & per official language where relevant) samples from 15 countries with a range of #HRQOL data collected using the same methodology to support progress toward an international research infrastructure in this area.

Another #PeerReview finished (review of revision).

Paper ~ 5400 words
Review ~ 1000 words
Duration ~ 2 hours

Main question:
If there is clear evidence from visual inspection and models misfit that the data do not follow a trajectory that can be described by a functional form, should one still fit a model that assumes such a growth trajectory?

Very nice paper in this regard:
