• LIFE-H 3.0 (The Assessment of life habits)

  The Assessment of life habits (LIFE-H) is a questionnaire that is used to collect information on all life habits that people carry out in their environment (home, workplace or school, neighborhood) to ensure their survival and development in society throughout their lifetime. LIFE-H uses a numerical scoring system ranging from 0 to 9. A score of 0 indicates a complete disability or impairment in participation, while a score of 9 indicates an optimal level of participation.
