Summary of development: Endicott (1993) and colleagues developed the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q) for depressed adults. The measure focuses on patients’ enjoyment of daily activities and is specifically designed for people with depressed mood. The pediatric version was developed from the adult measure and designed to be similar, but with some wording changed to be applicable to a younger population (Endicott 2006).
