Collection of available questionnaire definition files

What are *.QDW-files?

A questionnaire definition file can be recognized by its filename extension ".QDW" (Questionnaire Definition file for AnyQuest for Windows) or ".QDT" (Questionnaire Definition file in plain Text format). It contains, among other things, information regarding questions, answers, layout, flow control, and computation formulas in a language developed for AnyQuest for Windows. You can load one or multiple questionnaire definition files and afterwards present them to patients. You can also generate your own questionnaire definition files. They can exist as clearly readable text files or in binary format.

The questionnaire definition files listed here can either be downloaded directly from this side, or you are informed where they can be obtained. Additionally, there is information about and links to the homepages of makers of quality of life questionnaires.

Please note:

Before downloading a file, please check whether it was already contained in a package which might have been previously installed at your system.

In the process of adapting electronic versions of the questionnaires they were modified as needed to ensure consistency of content and appearance for the presentation in an electronic form. So they are not a 1:1 copy of any questionnaires they resemble. Before you use an electronic questionnaire, you should get hold of the respective paper version and compare the contents of the electronic version with that. Moreover, you should check the correct function of the result computation algorithms.

In no case do the available questionnaire definition files claim to be perfect or officially authorized adaptations of the paper questionnaires they resemble.

Before you may use certain quality of life questionniares, you are obliged to contact their respective copyright owners to find out about their policies.

Overview of available questionnaires

Demonstration questionnaires

Medical questionnaires
  • eIBSQOL - an integrated package made available through GlaxoWellcome plc., including paper based and electronic versions of the IBSQOL (Quality of Life in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome) questionnaire and of the Rome-II-Criteria in 19 language configurations, including Greek, manuals and all required, pre-configured software
  • eSIRO - electronic version of the Stress Index RadioOncology (German), implemented as an integrated package on a complete CD-ROM, including configurations for direct use by patients, for fast evaluation of paper questionnaires, and for data analysis and data export. It was developed for a project by Prof. P. Herschbach et al. in Munich with support of the Deutsche Krebshilfe e.V.
  • eQLQ - an electronic version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and several of its modules in several language versions offered in co-operation with the EORTC QoL Group. These ressources are available as pre-configured, self-installing packages, and accompanied by a very practical, short manual. Please register with the EORTC QoL Group before using the QLQ-C30.

Psychotherapeutic questionnaires

Questionnaire definition files for the following psychotherapeutic instruments have been generated in co-operation with the Forschungsstelle für Psychotherapie, Stuttgart, for use with the quality assurance system AKQUASI which has been developed there. With these questionnaire definition files, data can be collected using AnyQuest and afterwards imported into AKQUASI. In this process, patients can fill in their questionnaires themselves at the computer (preferrably using a touch-screen or a pen-computer). If you are interested in using AKQUASI or one of the following questionnaire definition files, please contact Ms. Dipl. Dok. Anke Herrmann. The questionnaire definition files are currently available in the German language, only, but international versions can be generated upon request.
