TI  - The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).
PG  - S14-8
AB  - Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide intrinsic knowledge about a patient's 
      health, functional status, symptoms, treatment preferences, satisfaction, and 
      quality of life. They have become an established approach for assessing health 
      outcomes. The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), introduced in 1980, is among 
      the first PRO instruments designed to represent a model of patient-oriented 
      outcome assessment. The HAQ is based on five patient-centered dimensions: 
      disability, pain, medication effects, costs of care, and mortality. It has been 
      validated by mail, in the office, by telephone, and by comparison with 
      paraprofessional and physician judgments as a reliable instrument, and has been 
      significantly correlated with other PRO instruments. Typically, one of two HAQ 
      versions is used: the Full HAQ, which assesses all five dimensions, and the Short 
      or 2-page HAQ, which contains only the HAQ disability index (HAQ-DI) and the 
      HAQ's patient global and pain visual analog scales (VAS). The HAQ-DI and the 
      global and pain VAS (i.e., the short HAQ) have essentially retained their 
      original content since their inception, while the Full HAQ undergoes periodic 
      revision to address issues of contemporary scientific interest. The HAQ-DI has 
      been translated or culturally adapted into more than 60 different languages or 
      dialects and has become part of the National Institutes of Health "Road-map" 
      Project, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS).
