{title:Computation of the score of the French SF36 questionnaire}

{p 8 14 2}{cmd:sf36fr} {it:varlist} [{it:if}] [,{cmdab:v2} {cmd:save}({it:prefix}) {cmd:saveref}({it:prefix}) {cmd:saveimp}({it:prefix}) {cmdab:rep:lace} {cmd:age}({it:varname}) {cmdab:sex}({it:varname}) {cmdab:det:ails}]


{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:sf36fr} computes the scores of the French versions of the SF36 questionnaire based on the algorithm of the version 1.3. By default, version 1.3 of the questionnaire is assumed.
For data provided using the version 2 of the SF36 questionnaire, this algorithm is adapted.

{title:Options}

{p 4 8 2}{it:varlist} must contain the name of the 36 variables representing the 36 items of the questionnaire in the same order than in the questionnaire.

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:v2} is required if the version 2 of the SF36 questionnaire is used.

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:save}({it:prefix}) saves the scores in new variables. The names of this variable are {it:prefix} followed by the names of the dimensions (PF RP BP GH VT SF RE MH PCS MCS).

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:saveref}({it:prefix}) saves the scores of reference in new variables. The names of this variable are {it:prefix} followed by the names of the dimensions (PF RP BP GH VT SF RE MH PCS MCS).

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:saveimp}({it:prefix}) saves the imputed values of each items in variables using the string as prefix followed the name of each items.

{p 4 8 2}{cmdab:rep:lace} allows replacing the variables defined with the {cmd:save} and {cmd:saveref} options if required.

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:age}({it:varname}) and {cmd:sex}({it:varname}) define the age and sex of the individuals in order to compute more precisely the scores of reference.

{p 4 8 2}{cmdab:det:ails} displays tables of incoherencs and comparison between computed scores and scores of reference.
