Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)

The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a questionnaire used to assess a person's overall health and well-being. It covers eight areas, including physical functioning, emotional health, pain levels, and social activities. The survey helps healthcare providers understand how health issues affect daily life and can guide treatment decisions. It’s widely used in research and clinics to measure health status over time or between groups, providing a comprehensive picture of a person's physical and mental health in a straightforward, standardized way.
