KDQOL
Survey Tool
Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument
The long form of the KDQOL™ (134 items) was developed in 1994 by the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Working Group with support from Amgen. After release of the KDQOL™ Long Form, the group began work on KDQOL™ short forms. This page includes information on the KDQOL™-SF 1.3 and the KDQOL™-36 short forms.
All KDQOL instruments and scoring tools have been moved to the RAND website.
