WELCOMEWelcome to FACIT.org. We manage the distribution and information regarding administration, scoring and interpretation of a range of questionnaires that measure health-related quality of life for people with chronic illnesses. Our first questionnaire, The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -General (FACT-G), was developed and validated over 10 years ago, and has been used in hundreds of studies worldwide. Since the publishing of the first FACT-G validation paper in 1993, we have developed more than 40 questionnaires and translated some of them into over 45 different languages. While cancer remains a major focus, we have also developed and translated instruments for fatigue, treatment satisfaction, spiritual well-being, HIV disease, multiple sclerosis, and other chronic conditions. This accumulated work has produced over 350 unique questions.
The FACIT.org mission is to promote use and application of these measurements as a means of improving healthcare for chronic illness.
