Abstract

EURONEST (European Neurotoxic Solvents Toxicity) is a concerted action within the European Communities to use standardized methods available in all countries. The product of this effort is a new symptom questionnaire, EUROQUEST (European Questionnaire). The original version was developed in English. To obtain transcultural reliability, the translation of questionnaires into other languages must be validated. We adopted a procedure with translation, back translation, and agreement between translators. Ten other European countries also followed the same translation procedure for EUROQUEST.
