An Amharic Version of the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI): Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation

Background

Skin diseases are associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and their families. The Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) questionnaire is a skin disease-specific measure of HRQoL in children. Our study aimed to translate the CDLQI into Amharic, culturally adapt, and evaluate the validity and reliability of the translation.
