The 36 question, comprehensive short-form generates a health profile consisting of 8-scales and two summary measures describing health-related quality of life. It should take 5 minutes to complete. Version 2 of the SF-36® Health Survey was developed by QualityMetric staff, to improve upon the original SF-36® Health Survey. The incorporation of format changes, norm-based scoring, and the version 2 technologies of missing data estimation and data quality testing allow for superior results.

As documented in more than 1600 publications, the original SF-36® has proven useful in:

• monitoring general and specific populations.
• comparing the burden of different diseases.
• differentiating the health benefits produced by different treatments.
• screening individual patients. SF-36® is the most widely used health status instrument in the world.
