About

The purpose of the study is to develop a validated French version of the HAQ-II questionnaire for rheumatoid arthritis.

Full description

The HAQ is the original Health Assessment Questionnaire used in rheumatology. It is available in more than 60 languages and includes 42 items. However the questionnaire is not easy to use in the clinic : complicated questions, long to answer for the patient and not easy to score for the doctor.

The HAQ-II is a reliable and valid 10-item questionnaire that performs at least as well as the HAQ and is simpler to administer and score. It includes 5 items already translated in English and 5 new items not yet translated.

The aim of the study is the validation of the French version of the HAQ-II for rheumatoid arthritis.
