Generic and Disease Specific Modules
Measure domains: Pain and symptoms; motor functioning; autonomy; cognitive functioning; social functioning; global positive emotional functioning; global negative emotional functioning
Summary of development:
The TACQOL-Child form and Parent form ask about children’s health status and their emotional response to health-related issues. There are two related questionnaires called the TNO-AZL Preschool Child Quality of Life Questionnaire and the TNO-AZL Questionnaire for Adult’s Health-Related Quality of Life. These measures were developed in the Netherlands in Dutch. They have been translated into 9 languages. All psychometric evaluations of the measures that we found were on the Dutch version.
