The purpose of the study is to obtain reference data on health-related quality of life for the functional and symptom scales and single items of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C30) in a representative sample of Slovenian general population.
A sample of at least 600 people from the Slovenian population, randomly selected, age 18 years and more, representing geografic diversity, will take part in this postal survey. The EORTC QLQ C30 and a questionnaire about demografic data will be send by mail. This is the first study to obtain reference data from the EORTC QLQ C30 in a sample from the general Slovenian population. The results will serve as guidelines for interpreting health-related quality-of-life of different groups of patients.
