1 Oral immunotherapy clinic (OITC) Questionnaire on quality of life for pharmacoeconomic purposes (no.3) The following questionnaires concern the impact of food allergies on your life and your child s life. FAQLQ questionnaire (Europrevall) was specifically developed for children affected by food allergies. SF-6D questionnaire is a standardized questionnaire on quality of life associated to health in general (potentially applied to every kind of health problem). As part of your application to the OIT clinic at CHU Sainte-Justine, we are asking you to fill these questionnaires to the best of your knowledge. It is important to answer every question. Please note that questionnaires FAQLQ TF and SF-6D 12+ must be filled by the child. Your answers to these questionnaires WON T BE used to determine your eligibility nor your prioritisation at the clinic. They will be used only to measure the clinic performance and the impact of the treatment on patients and families quality of life, in order to better estimate needs to be met. Therefore, it is important that your answers reflect accurately your situation. Child s identification: Name: First name: Date of birth: # Health insurance card: Expiration date : 1/12
