How can a non-commercial user obtain permission to use the EQ-5D?
Non-commercial users who would like to use the EQ-5D Paper and/or Digital are required to register each study/project on the EuroQol website. After accepting the Terms of Use Non-Commercial, the EuroQol Contact Centre will verify the registration. If all is in order, you will receive the requested EQ-5D language versions and all related documentation (such as Digital Representation Guidelines) within 2 business days. If there are remaining open questions, the EuroQol Contact Centre will contact you to request more information. If you have not received a response within 5 business days, please check your spam or junk folder. If there is still no email, please reach out to us through the Support Form.
Note that if data will be collected digitally, the ready-to-use Supported Platforms are advised (REDCap or Qualitrics or Limesurvey). If you are using any other digital platform, please download and carefully follow the Digital Representation Guidelines as an incorrect digital reproduction of the EQ-5D could invalidate the collected data. The Representations of all languages, example EQ-5D screenshots of how a digital implementation should look based on the Digital Representation Guidelines, can be found in the User Portal. Please be advised that deviating from the Digital Representation Guidelines and Representations are at your own risk.
