MethodsThe PCS and MCS were derived from analysis of a large-scale survey data set that included the SF-36. The SF-36 is a short, 36-item questionnaire that contains eight multi-item dimensions (Table 1). A further unscaled single item asks respondents about health changes over the past year. Minor modifications to the wording of six items on the SF-36 were made to make it acceptable in the British context. The changes are similar to those reported in the Sheffield study. 3
