Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To develop method to establish meaningful change in patient-reported outcomes (PROs). II. To provide responder definitions in 2 ways: IIa: Detectable change: within patient score change patients perceive but does not exceed a subjective threshold for a modification to patient care (for worsening) or conclusion of achieving therapeutic benefit (for improvement); IIb. Meaningful change: within patient score change that patients perceive and that does require modification in management (for worsening) or supports conclusion of therapeutic benefit (improvement). OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups. PATIENTS: Patients take part in an interview on study.
