We are studying the quality of life in children and adolescents to help improve healthcare decisions. To do this, we use a simple tool called EuroQoL, which measures health. There is a special version of this tool for children, called EQ-5D-Y, and a Bangla version of the 3-level tool is being tested in Bangladesh. In this study, we want to develop Bangla version of the EQ-5D-Y with 5 levels to get more detailed information. We will see how well this new version works and if it is easy for children and adolescents aged 8-18 to understand.
The purpose of the study was to develop a validated Bangla version of the EQ-5D-Y-5L tool to see if children and teenagers understand it.
