Types of Measures
Pediatric Neuro-QoL includes measures for children ages 8-17. As with Adult Neuro-QoL, Pediatric Neuro-QoL measures the functions, symptoms, behaviors, and feelings identified as important by people with neurological conditions and their caregivers. Pediatric Neuro-QoL measures include item banks that can be administered as computer adaptive tests (CATs) or as fixed length short forms. There are also uncalibrated item pools which use a raw summary score. All measures are self-reported.
