Japanese SF-36 User's Manual Published by Fukuhara
06-29-2001

After many years of research and numerous publications in the scientific literature, Shunichi Fukuhara, MD has published a manual for users of the SF-36 Health Survey in Japan. The 131-page manual, which documents the only version of the SF-36 Health Survey authorized for use in Japan, is comprehensive in its focus, including information about the methods of translation and adaptation; psychometric studies of the assumptions underlying the construction of scales and summary measures; and algorithms for scoring the Japanese SF-36. The manual also documents the reliability and validity of the Japanese SF-36 and presents normative data from general population surveys from all regions of Japan. With the publication of this manual, the information necessary for the proper use and interpretation of the Japanese SF-36 is documented for the first time in a single source, making the SF-36 more available than ever before to researchers, clinicians, and policymakers.
