Introduction
What is Health-Related Quality of Life?
Health-related quality of life
represents the functional effects of an illness and its consequent therapy upon
a patient, as perceived by the patient.
Why is Health-Related Quality of Life Important?
One of the aims of
treating patients must be to enable them to feel better and to function better
in their day-to-day activities. Many clinicians and clinical investigators now
recognise the importance of incorporating health-related quality of life into
their routine clinical practice and into clinical studies.
Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaires
Over
the last 15 years, we
have developed and validated a number of disease-specific questionnaires. We
should be happy to make them available to interested clinicians, investigators,
and companies. Linked to this page, you will find a short description of each
instrument and the published manuscripts in which you can find the methods of
development and reports of validity. In addition, we have listed the languages
in which each instrument is available.
Copyright
All of our instruments are copyrighted. They may not be
altered, sold, translated into another language or adapted for another medium
(e.g., computer, internet) without Professor Elizabeth Juniper's
permission.
Warning: Some versions of our questionnaires found on other web sites may be unauthorized
and may contain serious errors and must not be used.
