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.
