It is a generic and standardized instrument developed to describe and assess health-related quality of life. The descriptive system contains five dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, activities of daily living, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and each of them has three levels of severity (no problems, some problems or moderate problems, and severe problems). In this part of the questionnaire, the individual must mark the level of severity corresponding to their health status in each of the dimensions, referring to the same day they completed the questionnaire. In each dimension of the EQ-5D, severity levels are coded as 1 if the response option is "I have no problems"; with a 2 if the response option is "some or moderate problems"; and with a 3 if the answer option is "many problems."

The SF-12 v2 response options form Likert-type scales that evaluate intensity or frequency. The number of response options ranges between three and six, depending on the item, and each question receives a value that is subsequently transformed into a scale from 0 to 100.
