Validity and reliability of the Thai version of Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire – Adult Form (FAQLQ-AF) and Food Allergy Independent Measure – Adult Form (FAIM-AF)

Food allergy affects the patient’s quality of life (QoL) and leads to anxiety and depression. In addition to routine treatment, QoL evaluation should also be performed in patients with food allergies. The validated Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire – Adult Form (FAQLQ-AF) and Food Allergy Independent Measure – Adult Form (FAIM-AF) have been well accepted and available in many languages.
