Health Dialogue Questionnaire (HDQ-6)
Generic
Measure domains: Physical, Mental, Social
Summary of development: Holmström and colleagues (2012) distributed the Health Dialogue Questionnaire (HDQ) to six-year- old children and their parents in Sweden between 2006-2009. The questionnaires focus on promoting positive health. After two pilot studies using the original questionnaires, the HDQ was narrowed to 15 questions. The HDQ domain concepts are presented in an age-appropriate way and given to children in schools in Sweden at ages 6, 10, 13, and 16, to track growth and development over time. The HDQ is administered by school nurses, who provide questionnaires and verbal information to parents and students, and who are also responsible for providing students with feedback.
This measure was originally developed and tested in Swedish. We did not find any psychometric testing of an English version.
Four versions: ages 6, 10, 13, and 16 (HDQ-6, HDQ-10, HDQ-13, HDQ-16)
