Sleep impairment at 30 months as compared to baseline. The PROMIS Sleep Related Impairment v.1.0 is a 16-item self-report measure of perceived functioning during waking hours in relation to tiredness and trouble sleeping. A raw score is calculated by summing all individual items and is translated into a T-score with standard error (SE). A T-score of 50 indicates normal impairment compared to the general population, scores above 50 indicate more impairment.

Changes in health status from baseline to 30-months as measured by questions from the CDC NCHS National Health Interview Survey. Using an adapted version of the CDC NCHS National Health Interview Survey, the survey includes 4 questions about healthcare utilization. Items identify type of healthcare sought and frequency. The frequency of provider visits will be calculated to determine healthcare utilization. A frequency score of zero indicates no healthcare utilized. There is no upper limit for the frequency.
