The EQ-5D is a widely used instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It is a self-report questionnaire that asks respondents to rate their health on five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The EQ-5D is available in over 100 languages and is used in clinical trials, health economic evaluations, and other research studies around the world.
