HEQ (Health Economics Questionnaire)

The Health Economics Questionnaire (HEQ) is a comprehensive patient self-completed health economics questionnaire measuring health and social care resource use, medication, absenteeism from work and presenteeism as well as socio-demographic background information developed based on several years of international experience with within-trial economic evaluations. Project-specific versions of the HEQ have been implemented in several mental health clinical studies, most recently in the multi-country European PreDicT study and the UK-based PAX-BD and PAX-D studies. Further language versions are now also available in Dutch, French, German and Spanish.
