TANDI- Toddler and Infant Quality of Life. Updated/renamed as the EuroQol Toddler and Infant Populations (EQ-TIPS)
Generic-Specific Modules
Measure domains: Physical functioning; emotional functioning; role functioning; cognitive functioning; communication functioning
Summary of development:
The EuroQol Toddler and Infant Populations (EQ-TIPS) (formerly the TANDI) is an experimental measure based on the EQ-5D-Y proxy.  The instrument was developed for children aged zero to three years and includes six dimensions of health which are used to make a single health utility score. It is important to note that health utility scales that are made in the econometric tradition, such as the EQ-5D, do not necessarily need psychometric testing such as internal consistency or structural validity. For these measures, other types of validity such as known groups validity and convergent validity may be useful.

TAPQOL: TNO-AZL questionnaire for Preschool Children’s Health-Related Quality of Life
Generic-Specific Modules
Measure domains: Sleeping; appetite; lung problems; stomach problems; skin problems; motor functioning; problem behavior; social functioning; communication; positive mood; anxiety; liveliness
Summary of development:
The TNO-AZL- Preschool Children Quality of Life (TAPQOL) questionnaire was designed to measure parent's perceptions of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in preschool children. The initial items were based on literature, psychological and clinical experience. The feasibility of this preliminary version of the TAPQOL questionnaire was evaluated in a group of parents of 1-5-year-old children. Several items were deleted or rephrased after this feasibility pilot. The number of items was reduced from 99 to 43 items in the final TAPQOL questionnaire (Fekkes 2000).
The original questionnaire was developed in Dutch and there is only one study we found testing the English version of the questionnaire. There are several studies of the Dutch version not included here.

TedQL
Generic-Specific Modules
Measure domains: Physical competence; peer acceptance; maternal acceptance; psychological functioning; cognitive function
Summary of development: TedQL is an interviewer administered questionnaire to children age 3 to 8. Each item has four response options per concept. It uses two teddy bears to illustrate a concept. One teddy bear would represent the positive side (i.e. on either the big circle or the end point on the linear scale) of the statement (e.g. `Iggy/Ziggy is good at running’). The other would represent the negative side of the statement (e.g. `Iggy/Ziggy is not good at running’). The children were asked to point to which bear they were most like. The children were then probed for whether they were really like this or just a little bit like this. A later study (Clemens 2007) tested different response formats for the same questions.
