The KIDSCREEN Project

The KIDSCREEN project was funded by the European Commission within the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5).

The KIDSCREEN project was part of the Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources programme, one of the seven specific programmes of the FP5. The programme was built around six specific key actions and generic activities. 

The KIDSCREEN project took place over 3 years (2001-2004). Participants in the project were Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Three instruments, KIDSCREEN-52, KIDSCREEN-27 and KIDSCREEN-10 Index were developed simultaneously in the participating countries. These new instruments assess quality of life from the child's perspective in terms of their physical, mental and social well-being. The KIDSCREEN instruments aim to identify children at risk in terms of their subjective health and to suggest appropriate early interventions by including the instrument in health services research and health reporting.
