Scales
A number of outcome scales are available directly from the Psychometric
Laboratory. Each scale is available free for use within public health systems or
associated 'not for profit' agencies. Registration is required via the contact
address at the bottom of this page. Enquires for commercial use, or for research
sponsored by commercial agencies should be addressed to
a.tennant@leeds.ac.uk in the first
instance, except for those marked * which should be directed to our
collaborating partner Galen Research.

Adaptations.
All scales are copyright
to either the University of Leeds, or our collaborating partner
Galen Research in Manchester.
Adaptation of any of these scales requires explicit permission, and will, at a
minimum, require the use of existing strict protocols for the process. For the
ASQol, or
PsAQoL, please approach Galen Research directly; else for all other
scales contact a.tennant@leeds.ac.uk in the first instance.
