Adaptation, calibration, and validation of a cognitive assessment battery for telephone and video administration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Events such as global pandemics can force rapid adoption of new modes of assessment. We describe the evaluation of a modified neuropsychological assessment for web and telephone administration.

Methods

Telephone and video conferencing-based neuropsychological assessment procedures were developed and implemented within an ongoing observational study, the Successful Aging following Elective Surgery II (SAGES) study (N = 420 persons). Repeated cognitive assessments were used (N = 2008 observations). Analyses using latent variable psychometric methods were used to compare the measurement modes, and a nested validation sub-study (N = 100 persons) was used to test for measurement equivalence. We used item response theory methods to calibrate data collected by different
