FAQs:
Licensing with Pearson

Q: How long does it take to obtain a license agreement?


Your dedicated Account Manager will email you an Intake Form to identify key components of
your study. After reviewing the form, they will schedule a Discovery call to discuss the study, your
assessment needs, and gather any additional information needed to more forward with your
license agreement.

Pearson will then conduct an internal audit of our existing Intellectual Property (Published US
English, Certified Research Translations, and International Publications). For any scales that
require translation, Pearson will work on your behalf to obtain a translation quote. All details,
including pricing and translation timelines, will be integrated into a Statement of Work (SOW).
Please know a Master License Agreement (MLA) must be in place prior to executing a SOW.
Learn more about licensing here.

Q: When do I need a license agreement?


For published tests that require no adaptations or modifications, you may purchase off-the-shelf
test kits for which your Account Manager can help you obtain a quote. For content that will be
modified, you will need a license agreement.

Q: What is considered a modification?


Any change made to the originally published format of an assessment is considered a
modification and requires a license to proceed (Ex. Inclusion in eCOA, eCRF, Digitization,
Adaptation, Translation, headers, footers, etc.).

Q: Where can I find pricing?


Please contact your Account Manager or Submit an Inquiry here to obtain pricing for published
COAs, certified research translations with a Certificate of Translation, and/or initiating new
translations. Review the general fees on our website.

800-328-5999

Q: Which languages are available?


Many of the assessments that we offer are available in a wide variety of languages, and your
Account Manager will be able to provide you with availability. If we do not have an International
Publication or Certified Research Translation available, Pearson will work with our exclusive
translation vendor to obtain the translations you require.

Q: Which languages can I use in each country?


Pearson does not provide guidance regarding which languages should be used in specific
countries. It will be up to your study team to determine whether additional languages are
appropriate in your research study.

Q: What is Pearson’s signatory process?


Once an agreement is ready for both parties to sign, it is Pearson’s policy for the other party
to sign the agreement first and then return the partially executed agreement to Pearson for
electronic signature. Our legal team will be copied to facilitate the signatory process (lsr-XXXX).

FAQs:
Translations

Q: Can I translate Pearson COAs?


No. Pearson oversees all translations of Intellectual Property to ensure the quality and
content meets our standards. You will be provided with a Certificate of Translation for all
research translations.

Q: How long will my translation take?


Translation timelines vary based on the scope of your project, requested languages, and
features of the COA(s) selected. You will receive an estimated delivery timeline on your
Statement of Work.

Q: What is the difference between an ”International Publication” and


a “Certified Research Translation”?
A published scale published scale has been normed, standardized, and commercialized for
use in a specific geography and language. Based on the rigorous validity studies to determine
lingustuc and cultural equivalence of an international publication, these scales are not
accompanied by a Certificate of Translation. All psychometric data can be found in test manuals.
Certified Research Translations are trans-adaptations based on an English source file. Trans-
adaptations are aligned with industry guidance and best practices and recommended by
regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA, ISPOR, C-Path PRO and ePRO Consortia, ISOQOL) to ensure a high-
quality, valid, and localized translation.

Q: Why doesn’t my published clinical outcome assessment (COA) include


a Certificate of Translation?
Pearson Clinical Assessment international publications are developed in accordance with
the caliber defined by the International Test Commission (ITC) Guidelines for Translating and
Adapting Tests (second edition, 2017). The guidelines apply to both the translation of items
and content, and adaptation to cultural and construct relevance within a particular region. It
is imperative to note that adaptation refers to a multitude of activities including modification
of the test format. The professional standard is to determine whether a test in one language
and culture can successfully measure the same construct in another. Therefore, item content
included in an international publication may not be parallel to the English version.
15
800-328-5999

Q: Are internationally published assessments identical to


US English published assessments?
Pearson Clinical Assessment international publications are developed in accordance with
the caliber defined by the International Test Commission (ITC) Guidelines for Translating and
Adapting Tests (second edition, 2017). The guidelines apply to both the translation of items
and content, and adaptation to cultural and construct relevance within a particular region.
The professional standard is to determine whether a test in one language and culture can
successfully measure the same construct in another. Therefore, documents published in English
may not directly align with international publications. Should your study team determine that
you require a translation parallel to the English version, please work with your Account Manager.

Q: How will my files be delivered?


All published content and Certified Research Translations are delivered in electronic format via
Box.com. The licensee on the account will receive an email notification that files are available.
You will receive files in PDF format, along with any associated Certificates of Translation (available
only with Certified Research Translations).

Q: Does Pearson require eCOA migration and Screenshot review (SSR)?


Yes. When a Sponsor wishes to adapt “paper” COAs for use on an electronic data collection
platforms (ePRO/eCOA), Pearson’s Translation Support team will work with our exclusive
translation vendor, the eCOA provider, the Licensee to facilitate this process.

Adverse Neurodevelopmental Outcomes among Preterm Infants Born at Less
than 30 Weeks of Gestation
This study seeks to quantify the risks of unfavorable neurodevelopmental
outcomes for each bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) grade in preterm
infantes delivered at less than 30 weeks of gestation. Researchers evaluated
infants who received care until at least 36 weeks postmenstrual age and
had a rigorous neurodevelopmental assessment using the Bayley Scales
for Infant and Toddler Development (BSID) in our infant follow-up clinic.
Using descriptive statistics and regression methods, they examined the
relationship between BPD grade and unfavorable neurodevelopmental
outcomes.

Beck Anxiety Inventory® (BAI®)


The Association between Physical Activity and Anxiety in Aging:
A Comparative Analysis
As the world’s population ages, there is a greater need to recognize the
significance of physical activity in the anxiety of older individuals. The
objectives of this study was to analyze anxiety in older adults who engage
in physical activity and those who do not. Questions were included from
the Beck Anxiety Inventory, BAI, and the Physical Activity Inventory for Older
People. The sample data of this study contribute to the conclusion that
physical activity influences anxiety levels with 98% certainty, and it is advised
that future studies with other designs be added to it.

Beck Depression Inventory® (BDI®)


Distorted Thoughts as a Mediator of Depressive Symptoms in Patients
with Major Depressive Disorder: A Longitudinal Study
Over a six-month period, this study sought to determine whether distorted
ideas mediate depressive symptoms in Major Depressive Disorder
MDD patients. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), the
Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), the Beck Depression
Inventory (BDI-II), and the Depression Thoughts Scale (DTS) findings were
gathered at weeks 1, 8, 12, and 24. Cognitive distortions were found to be
a mediator of depressive symptoms, emphasizing the necessity of early
psychological therapies in MDD patients who present these distortions.

Vineland Adaptive Behavior Rating Scale, Third Edition


TM

Use of the Vineland-3, a Measure of Adaptive Functioning, in CLN3


Early and frequent signs of CLN3 disease include neurocognitive
impairment and progressive visual loss. This emphasizes the importance
of neurodevelopmental functioning for the illness but restricts the range
of neuropsychological tests. The Vineland-3’s connections to the well-
established results of verbal IQ (VIQ) and Unified Batten Disease Rating Scale
(UBDRS) indicate its convergent validity for use in CLN3. Future longitudinal
studies will be crucial to proving the Vineland-3’s usefulness for tracking
change in CLN3, including replication in other cohorts and evaluation of
sensitivity to change.

GSVs
What are Growth Scale Values (GSVs) and how can they
improve precision in research?

In testing and in research, it is critical to have both an effective and reliable way to measure
change. The traditional accepted metric for research studies has been age equivalents (AEs)
and raw scores. However, the lack of standard deviations, standard errors of measurement, and
equal intervals between scores, make AE’s imprecise. While raw scores have typically been the
go-to to measure change, GSVs are quickly becoming the preferred method.
23
800-328-5999

GSVs in simple terms

GSVs can be thought of as an improved version of raw scores. Both GSVs and raw scores
measure underlying ability; as ability increases, they both increase. However, the raw score
increases faster or slower depending on how many items there are at a particular region of
difficulty. If there are a lot of items, raw score increases quickly as ability increases, because
there are many items on which the person can demonstrate their improvement. In a region
with few items, raw score increases slowly. What this means is that a given increase in raw score
corresponds to different amounts of increase in ability depending on the level of the scale
where the change occurs.

GSVs attempt to remove this inconsistency. A GSV is an estimate of the ability level that would
most likely have produced an observed raw score. Thus, GSVs adjust for the effects of the
uneven distribution of item difficulties. By their nature, they attempt to be “equal interval”; that
is, a given change in GSV reflects the same amount of change in ability at all levels.

Of course, GSVs do not perfectly achieve this goal. The Rasch model on which they are based
is a simple one in which a person’s probability of success on a test item is based on just two
things, the item’s difficulty, and the person’s ability. Nevertheless, they are a fundamental
improvement over raw scores because they address the problem caused by the distribution of
item difficulties.
