Objectives We aimed to co-produce and validate an accessible, evidence-based questionnaire measuring ‘living well’ with dementia that reflects the experience of people with mild-to-moderate dementia. Methods Nine people with dementia formed a co-production group. An initial series of workshops generated the format of the questionnaire and a longlist of items. Preliminary testing with 53 IDEAL cohort participants yielded a shortlist of items. These were tested with 136 IDEAL cohort participants during a further round of data collection and assessed for reliability and validity. The co-production group contributed to decisions throughout and agreed the final version. Results An initial list of 230 items was reduced to 41 for initial testing, 12 for full testing, and 10 for the final version. The 10-item version had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and a single factor structure. Analyses showed significant large positive correlations with scores on measures of quality of life, well-being, and satisfaction with life, and expected patterns of association including a significant large negative association with depression scores and no association with cognitive test scores. Conclusions The co-produced My Life Questionnaire is an accessible and valid measure of ‘living well’ with dementia suitable for use in a range of contexts.
