  • Baseline and follow-up scores represent the per cent of positive responses for all items in the domain at the baseline and follow-up time points. HSOPS change scores are computed as the change in per cent positive responses for all items within each dimension from baseline to the follow-up survey period (approximately 11 months later). Values greater than zero represent an increase in per cent positive responses, while values less than zero represent a decrease in per cent positive responses.
