Introduction to HDQLIFE
HDQLIFE™ is a set of self-report measures within the Neuro-QoL™ measurement system that assesses the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of adults with Huntington disease (HD). The HDQLIFE measures were developed through a collaborative, multi-site NIH-sponsored research project to construct a psychometrically-sound and clinically-relevant health-related quality of life measurement tool for individuals with HD. HDQLIFE is comprised of item banks and scales that evaluate symptoms and concerns important to those with HD. The HDQLIFE measures are intended for use in both clinical trials and clinical practice.
