Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Phase I Patient Interviews
Indepth interviews will be completed with approximately 15 patients.
Patients will be interviewed to provide descriptive information about their experience as a treated patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The interviews will be given one time for approximately 1 hour.
Phase II Patient Questionnaire
Patients will be asked to provide subjective ratings of their experience on a questionnaire developed from the responses from Phase I

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The primary endpoint for the study will be a composite symptom score derived from items in the instrument.
Time Frame: Patients in Phase 1 and 2 shall be engaged in the study for approximately one hour's time; Phase 1 will take 3 to 6 weeks, and Phase 2 will proceed until sufficient sample size is obtained (saturation); we anticipate completion by September 2013.

Composite symptom score shall be derived from the actual items selected as a result of Phase 2.

The final scoring logarithm shall provide a score for each dimension, as well as an anxiety/concern scale derived from single items from each of the dimensions, and a total score.

Patients in Phase 1 and 2 shall be engaged in the study for approximately one hour's time; Phase 1 will take 3 to 6 weeks, and Phase 2 will proceed until sufficient sample size is obtained (saturation); we anticipate completion by September 2013.
