Validation of the dermatology‐specific proxy instrument the Infants and Toddlers Dermatology Quality of Life
Abstract
The first dermatology‐specific proxy health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument for children 0–4 years old with skin diseases, the Infants and Toddlers Dermatology Quality of Life (InToDermQoL), was recently developed. In order to avoid the problem of cross‐cultural inequivalence focus groups work and pilot tests were organized simultaneously in all national centres of the project. The InToDermQoL showed good comprehensibility, clarity and acceptance.
