Does anyone know if there is a copy of this available to download from the
internet? Or where I can get hold of a copy?
It's the "Medical outcomes study short form 36", also known as "SF-36 health
survey" - an assessment instrument.
I've also seen it referred to as MOS 36.
I can find out lots ABOUT it, but my user wants to actually see a copy of
the form itself which, surprise, surprise, has 36 questions.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Christine
