| Notes when administering the tool |
The tool should be administered by a trained research assistant in the Yoruba language. As with other versions of the SF-36, the Yoruba translation consists of eight subscales and the sum score on each is the weighted sum of the questions for that section. Each scale is transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. Total scores are then summed from each subscale, with lower scores denoting more disability. |
