Development of the Short Treatment Burden Questionnaire (STBQ) including a Global Treatment Burden Question (GTBQ): Cognitive interviews with adults living with multimorbidity
Robust qualitative methods were used to develop a novel PROM for use in clinical practice and research. The STBQ demonstrated face validity and was relatively easy to use. Further work has been undertaken to validate the GTBQ. Guidance will outline how the STBQ could support patient care.
