Duke Health Profile-adolescent version (DHP-A)

Generic measure

Measure domains: Physical health; mental health; social health; general health; perceived health; self-esteem; anxiety; depression; pain; disability

Summary of development: Duke Health Profile was initially created for adult population (Parkerson et al. 1990). The French Committee for Health Promotion adapted the original version, which is the Duke Health Profile- adults version that originated in the United States, for use among adolescents in France (Vo et al. 2005). The DHP-Adolescent version is the same as the adult version except for a change to one question about social well-being from “friends and family” to “family outside of the home and friends outside of school.” The original language for DHP-A is French with several evaluations of the French version that are not included in this review.  We could not find a psychometric evaluation of the English version of the DHP-A.
