For purposes of reviewing and learning about the FACIT measurement system, users may access and download English versions of FACIT measures and items from this website. You may also request access to translated versions by registering on the site and requesting them. However, in order to use any of our measures, permission must first be obtained by registering and obtaining a license.
 
You can research our measures here: Once you have determined which questionnaire is best for your research question or population, you will need to register in order to either request translated versions and/or request a license-for-use. Answers to other questions can be found in our FAQ section.
