A guide to questionnaires available from FORWARD

FORWARD offers questionnaires without charge, for your clinical practice or for research. You can choose which questionnaire you need. These forms can be utilized as the basis of a mailed or faxback report to you or we can set up a secure site for you to be able to download data or pdfs to your electronic medical record system.

FORWARD offers several general types of questionnaires. Modification of the questionnaires to include or exclude items is possible. When used in the clinic, these questionnaires are not meant to be sufficient in and of themselves. Usually clinicians collect physical examination, laboratory and treatment data separately, although it is possible to collect them with FORWARD forms, too.

Most questionnaires are also available in Spanish and International English.
