The Medical Outcomes Trust is a depository and distributor of high-quality, standardized, health outcomes measurement instruments to national and international health communities. Every instrument in the Trust library is reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Committee against a rigorous set of eight attributes. These attributes consist of the following: (1) conceptual and measurement model; (2) reliability; (3) validity; (4) responsiveness; (5) interpretability; (6) respondent and administrative burden; (7) alternative forms; and (8) cultural and language adaptations. In addition to a full description of each attribute, we discuss uses of these criteria beyond evaluation of existing instruments and lessons learned in the first few rounds of instrument review against these criteria.
医学成果信托基金是向国内和国际卫生界提供高质量、标准化健康成果测量工具的存放和分发机构。信托基金库中的每一种工具都由科学咨询委员会根据一套严格的八项属性进行审查。这些属性包括：(1)概念和测量模型；(2)可靠性；(3)有效性；(4)反应性；(5)可解释性；(6)受访者和管理负担；(7)替代形式；(8)文化和语言适应性。除了对每个属性进行全面描述外，我们还讨论了这些标准在评估现有工具之外的用途，以及在前几轮根据这些标准进行工具审查中吸取的经验教训。
