A questionnaire package was mailed to the participants 3- and 12-months post stroke. These included validated Questionnaires like QOLIBRI-OS, HADS, SS-QOL and EQ5D. Validity studies on QOLIBRI-OS and SS-QOL has been published, along with several other papers. Synne Garder Pedersen and Guri Heiberg have finished their PhDs.
