AB  - AIM: Examining health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is important to improve 
      patient care. In this study, we translate and evaluate the Finnish versions of 
      the Food Allergy Specific Quality of Life Questionnaires (FAQLQs) from a Finnish 
      perspective and undertake a detailed evaluation of the 10-question Parent Form 
      Questionnaire (FAQLQ-PF10). METHODS: This validation study was performed to 
      evaluate the Finnish versions of the FAQLQs. Validation was performed by 
      analysing clinical characteristics, factor loadings and Cronbach's alpha reliability 
      estimates. The inclusion criteria for participants in this study were having a 
      doctor-diagnosed food allergy or being a parent of a child with a 
      doctor-diagnosed food allergy and being able to answer the questionnaire in 
      Finnish. RESULTS: Altogether, 247 questionnaires were completed in this study. 
      Most of the respondents had multiple food allergies (77%, 189/247). Spearman's 
      correlations related to the 10-question parent form (FAQLQ-PF10), the 30-question 
      parent form (FAQLQ-PF) and the Food Allergy Severity Measurement-Parent Form 
      (FAIM-PF) were statistically significant (p value = 0.000-0.007). The reliability 
      of the Finnish versions of the FAQLQs measured by Cronbach's alpha was overall good 
      (0.75-0.981). CONCLUSION: The Finnish versions of the FAQLQs are reliable and 
      suitable to use, and the FAQLQ-PF10 has good usability.
