KIDSCREEN Questionnaire

Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents aged from 8 to 18 years

The KIDSCREEN instruments assess children’s and adolescents’ subjective health and well-being. They were developed as self-report measures applicable for healthy and chronically ill children and adolescents aged from 8 to 18 years. As a result of their simultaneous development in 13 European countries, the KIDSCREEN instruments are truly cross-national HRQoL measures.
