KINDL is a psychometrically acceptable method of measuring quality of life in children. The KINDL consists of six dimensions; Physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, family, friends and everyday functioning. This questionnaire was developed with the aim of producing a set of flexible questions which could be answered by children of varying age groups; with this particular version targeting children between the ages of 7 and 13 (there are also versions for other age groups). It was developed in order to remedy the discrepancy between the urgency of the issue quality of life of adolescents and the lack of solutions available.
