A systematic review finds single-item measures effectively monitor substance use treatment, suggesting feasible implementation and predictive value.
Single-item patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are pragmatic tools for implementing measurement-based care in substance use treatment, offering strong implementation feasibility and, in some cases, predictive performance comparable to longer instruments. PROMs lacking validated thresholds or responsiveness may be best used as complementary tools, whereas those with strong evidence and thresholds can support primary monitoring.
