1. Copy QS Template page and move to the Initial development (not ready for review) page. Please DO NOT OVERWRITE the template pages.
2. Change the title of the page as follows:
   1. Remove 'Copy of QRS Supplement Template - '.
   2. Replace 'Name of QRS Instrument' with the full name of the QRS instrument the supplement is being created for.
   3. Change 'QRS Short_Name' to the short name (--CAT) for the current instrument.
3. Update the information in the Page Properties block below as indicated in the block below.
   1. The supplement version number will be 'v1' if there has never been a supplement for the instrument before. Otherwise, increment as appropriate.
   2. If the CRF was copyright approved, keep 'Approved'; otherwise change 'Approved' to 'Public Domain'.
4. Replace 'Title' and 'QRS Short_Name' throughout the document with the title and short name of the instrument that the supplement is being created for.
5. Replace royal blue text with information pertaining to the instrument the supplement is being created for. Delete royal blue text which does not apply to the new instrument.
6. Unless otherwise noted, text in black applies to all QRS Supplements and should not be deleted.
7. Change QS to RS or FT and 'Questionnaires' to 'Disease Response and Clin Classification' or 'Functional Tests' as appropriate. Also when discussing the instrument as a general questionnaire, change 'questionnaire' to 'clinical classification' or 'functional test' as appropriate.
8. Remove all information blocks, except for the one immediately below this called 'Information for Reviewers'.
9. Keep changes in blue for ease throughout internal and public review. Once the supplement has gone thru public review and all comments are resolved, change all text color to black except for hyperlinks.
10. Arabic numerals (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) are used to express numbers in most circumstances. Exceptions are the following: 
    • Numbers that begin a sentence, title, subtitle, or heading 

    • Common fractions 

    • Accepted usage such as idiomatic expressions and numbers used as pronouns 

    • Other uses of “one” in running text (e.g., when meaning "a")
    • Ordinals first through ninth
    • Numbers spelled out in quotes or published titles.

Text in black is part of the template used to create this document and is not under review. Please review the blue text; this text represents the changes made to the template that are specific to this QRS instrument.

Note: There are several optional space-saving options that can be included in the paragraph as appropriate or needed. Historically, we needed these to save space in Word/PDF documents. As we move to all wiki/html, these are likely not needed, but we are waiting to remove these options until we're sure:

• "This example is based on a clinical classification with an evaluation interval of xxx." allows the QSEVLINT (or QSEVINTX) column to be removed from the example. Note that it was not used for the IDS-SR instrument used in the example below as it is not the same for all items.
• "This example is based on a clinical classification with an evaluation interval of the past week. QSLOBXFL is NULL based on VISITNUM = 2." saves space if there are a large number of columns.  If this statement is used, leave off the QSEVLINT, QSLOBXFL and VISITNUM columns in the example.
• "QSSTRESN is null as there are no standardized numeric results for this instrument."  This statement is used when there are no standardized numeric values.  The QSSTRESN column is then removed from the below example.

Update the data in the table below to the current instrument. Include row descriptions as needed to highlight idiosyncrasies or items otherwise of note in this particular instrument. If there are only a few row descriptions, information should be included in the text prior to the example instead of in separate row headers.

We are unable to make the example consistently show blue in the Wiki. All examples are updated for each QRS instrument so we ask that you please review the example below.

The following is for illustrative purposes and would not really be included for the IDS-SR instrument in this template. It provides an example of what would need to be included if the instrument required supplemental qualifiers (see Section 5 Supplemental Qualifier Name Codes):

Text that would remain unchanged has been left in black:

The evaluation interval text value for data collection needs to be populated in SUPPQS as follows. The standard terminology for QNAM and QLABEL are listed below.

Include mappings for all sets of result values. For ease of use of this template, the complete set of response values for the example in Section 3.2 is not included.

If the instrument has been entered into QRS Maker (all instruments should be), then the complete set of response values can be copied from QRS Maker and pasted into this supplement.

Some example mappings are below.

For QRS instruments with subcategories:

When subcategories are used on an instrument, a table with the following introduction information should appear before the mappings for results.

QSSCAT alignment with QSTESTCD

As stated in Section 3.1 assumptions, items on the HAMD 17 are grouped into subcategories. The table below includes the subcategory names along with the applicable item numbers for each category. The values of the subcategories are used to populate QSSCAT and are annotated on the CRF.

If all items have the same original result values, with the same standardized character and numeric values, then only include one table showing the values of QSORRES/QSSTRESC/QSSTRESN and put "All QSTESTCDs" (title case "All", and in quotes) above the table:

"All QSTESTCDs"

Similarly, if some, but not all, QSTESTCDs share the same original result and standardized values, then the QSTESTCD and corresponding QSTEST values are put in a list above the table rather than providing a separate table for each QSTESTCD/QSTEST.

If there are responses that correspond to non-consecutive items or 1-7 consecutive items, include the test codes and test names above the table with the responses as follows:

QSTESTCD = "test code 1" QSTEST = "test name 1"

QSTESTCD = "test code 4" QSTEST = "test name 4"

QSTESTCD = "test code 5" QSTEST = "test name 5"

QSTESTCD = "test code 6" QSTEST = "test name 6"

QSTESTCD = "test code 7" QSTEST = "test name 7"

QSTESTCD = "test code 8" QSTEST = "test name 8"

QSTESTCD = "test code 15" QSTEST = "test name 15"

QSTESTCD = "test code 22" QSTEST = "test name 22"

QSTESTCD = "test code 27" QSTEST = "test name 27"

QSTESTCD = "test code 29" QSTEST = "test name 29"

Omit the QSSTRESN column when it is not applicable to the dataset.

QSTESTCD = "test code" QSTEST = "test name"

For responses that are for 8 or more consecutive items, an override label should be used in QRS Maker to show the items that are included as follows:

QSTESTCD = "first test code in sequence" QSTEST = "first test name in sequence" through

QSTESTCD = "last test code in sequence" QSTEST = "last test name in sequence"

The instrument used as an example in this template did not require supplemental qualifiers, but this section has been included to provide guidance on those instruments which do require supplemental qualifiers. (Many instruments do not require it.) Text that always will be in the section when it is included has been left black.

Additional rows will be required in the suppqs.xpt dataset for each supplemental qualifier needed.

Remove Section 5 if it does not apply to the new instrument.
