Abstract
One of the 3 principal aims of the EQ-net project was to increase the number of European translations of the EQ-5D. An early requirement of anyone undertaking translations was the production of a series of reports at different stages for review by at least 2 members of the EuroQol Group Translation Committee (see Appendices 8-10). This was considered an important part of ensuring consideration of semantic equivalence between source and target versions of the EQ-5D and has provided an unusual opportunity to examine the results of the translation process1. Such information is rarely written up in the international field of health outcomes assessment so it is hoped that the information provided here will be helpful to other researchers working in the HRQoL field.
