Welcome to the Center for Research on Symptoms, Symptom Interactions, and Health Outcomes, one of nine exploratory nursing research centers funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Institute for Nursing research. The purpose of the Center is to facilitate symptom-related research, including the development and testing of interventions designed to reduce negative symptomatology and improve health outcomes in clinical populations.

The Center provides a number of resources to faculty and students including psychometric and scoring information for instruments commonly used to measure symptoms and symptom-related outcomes, a Teleform scanner and other equipment to facilitate research, and an interdisciplinary advisory board to provide scientific guidance. Center staff include an administrative assistant, a statistician, and a data manager. Please explore our Web site and contact us at 404.712.2857 or by email if you have any questions.
