Clinical Trial Outcome Measures
Primary Measures
- Percentage of Dyads (Participant and Caregiver or Parent) Reporting no Difference or Easier to Use for New Genotropin Mark VII Injection Pen Compared to Pre-study Experience With the Genotropin Pen®
- Time Frame: 2 months
- Ease of use measured using the Injection Pen Assessment Questionnaire (IPAQ) patient-reported outcome (PRO) tool (based on 13 unique characteristics of injection pens). Section I measures ease of use of Genotropin® (very easy, somewhat easy, neither easy nor difficult, somewhat difficult, or very difficult). Section II measures ease of use of new Genotropin Mark VII Pen in comparison to pre-study experience with Genotropin® Pen (Genotropin® pen easier to use, new injection pen easier to use, or no difference) and preference (prefer Genotropin® Pen, prefer new injection pen, or no preference).
Secondary Measures
- Percentage of Dyads Reporting no Preference or Preference for New Genotropin Mark VII Injection Pen Compared to Pre-study Experience With the Genotropin Pen®
- Time Frame: 2 months
- Preference for use measured using IPAQ PRO tool (ease of use and preference based on 13 unique characteristics of injection pens). Section I measures ease of use of Genotropin® (very easy, somewhat easy, neither easy nor difficult, somewhat difficult, or very difficult). Section II measures ease of use of new Genotropin Mark VII Pen in comparison to pre-study experience with Genotropin® Pen (Genotropin® Pen easier to use, new injection pen easier to use, or no difference) and preference (prefer Genotropin® Pen, prefer new injection pen, or no preference).
- Percentage of Dyads Reporting New Genotropin Mark VII Injection Pen Easier to Use Compared to Pre-study Experience With the Genotropin Pen®
- Time Frame: 2 months
- Ease of use measured using the IPAQ PRO tool (ease of use and preference based on 13 unique characteristics of injection pens). Section I measures ease of use of Genotropin® Pen (very easy, somewhat easy, neither easy nor difficult, somewhat difficult, or very difficult). Section II measures ease of use of new Genotropin Mark VII Pen in comparison to pre-study experience with Genotropin® Pen (Genotropin® Pen easier to use, new injection pen easier to use, or no difference) and preference (prefer Genotropin® Pen, prefer new injection pen, or no preference).
- Percentage of Dyads Reporting New Genotropin Mark VII Injection Pen Preferable Compared to Pre-study Experience With the Genotropin Pen®
- Time Frame: 2 months
- Preference for use measured using IPAQ PRO tool (ease of use and preference based on 13 unique characteristics of injection pens). Section I measures ease of use of Genotropin® (very easy, somewhat easy, neither easy nor difficult, somewhat difficult, or very difficult). Section II measures ease of use of new Genotropin Mark VII Pen in comparison to pre-study experience with Genotropin® Pen (Genotropin® Pen easier to use, new injection pen easier to use, or no difference) and preference (prefer Genotropin® Pen, prefer new injection pen, or no preference).
