  • Simplify and rephrase items into short, accessible questions while maintaining construct alignment and internal consistency.
  • Develop short-form versions (3–6 questions per domain) suitable for tagging and personalization logic.
  • Collaborate with Product and Clinical teams to define response scales, scoring logic, and tag mappings.
  • Document rationale and traceability between simplified items and original validated scales.
  • Provide feedback on psychometric soundness during pilot testing and data collection phases.
  • Validate the modified (shortened/product-friendly) questions against the original validated instrument to ensure fidelity.

  • Demonstrated experience in test construction, adaptation, and validation (e.g., reliability, construct validity).
