Aim: The aim of the project is to develop an accessible version of the Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) questionnaires so they can be used by service users accessing mental health services who are unable to complete the original ReQoL measures.
Background: NHS England has mandated the use of the ReQoL-10 in all adult mental health services by summer of 2024. While the ReQoL-10 is a simple questionnaire, PPI have suggested that the questionnaire would need to be adapted or modified for use by people with learning disability, neurodivergent adults and those with cognitive impairment. With NIHR research capability funding from the Sheffield Partnership University NHS FT and ARC Thames Valley and Oxford, we developed a draft easy read version of the questionnaire. We are currently planning two rounds of cognitive interviews with a total of 20 adults across the three groups which should be completed by June 2026.
