Questionnaire-Description

The Multidimensional Health Questionnaire (MHQ-100) is a psychometric tool designed to assess various aspects of an individual’s health and well-being. It consists of 100 questions that cover multiple dimensions of health, including physical, psychlogical, and social parameters.

The scale aims to measure:

Physical health: Key aspects of physical condition and functionality.

Mental health: Stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychological parameters.

Social health: Relationships with others and social support.

General well-being: Overall life satisfaction and health.

Participants evaluate their experiences across different health domains using a Likert-type scale.

Data Analysis and Usage

Data from the MHQ-100 are collected through self-reports and analyzed to identify the health and well-being levels of individuals. Key analyses include:

Reliability analysis to determine the internal consistency of the scale.

Factor analysis to confirm the dimensions of health measured by the scale.

Statistical analysis to examine relationships between health dimensions and other psychological or social variables, such as quality of life and life satisfaction.

The results can be used to assess individuals’ health needs and to design interventions that enhance their overall well-being.

Purpose

The primary goal of the MHQ-100 is to evaluate the different aspects of an individual’s health and well-being. This tool aims to:

Identify health areas that require attention or intervention.

Facilitate the correlation between physical, mental, and social health.

Provide data for research on health and well-being.

Calibration

The calibration of the MHQ-100 involves the following steps:

Reliability analysis to ensure the internal consistency and reliability of the scale’s items.

Confirmatory factor analysis to validate the structures and dimensions included in the scale.

Cross-validation in different populations to ensure the generalizability and validity of the results.
