To fill healthcare providers’ requests, NAMS is pleased to make available the Utian Quality of Life (UQOL) Scale, a validated 2-page instrument that clinicians can use to gain important information from women about menopause-related quality of life. The self-completed Questionnaire on page 1 can be filled out by patients during office visits; then use the Scoring Summary on page 2 to tally patient replies.
Permission is granted for this questionnaire to be utilized freely for clinical (or research) purposes. However, NAMS requests that acknowledgement be made to Utian et al in any publication using the UQOL:
Utian WH, Janata JW, Kingsberg SA, Schluchter M, Hamilton JC. The Utian Quality of Life (UQOL) Scale: development and validation of an instrument to quantify quality of life through and beyond menopause. Menopause 2002;9:402-410.
Healthcare providers can view the instrument and download the PDF file. The Consumer Questionnaire page can be photocopied, as needed, but the Scoring Summary page requires printing on a color printer.
