This assessment asks how you feel about your quality of life, health, or other areas of your life. Please answer all the
questions. If you are unsure about which response to give to a question, please choose the one that appears most
appropriate. This can often be your first response.
Please keep in mind your standards, hopes, pleasures and concerns. We ask that you think about your life in the last

Not at all Not much Moderately A great deal Completely

Do you get the kind of support from others 1 2 3 4 5
