This study developed and validated a short-form version of the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 by conducting three studies: creating a shortened core (EHP-5 Study 1), verifying its results in a new dataset (Study 2), and producing a short-form version of the 23-item modular questionnaire (Study 3). The final EHP-5 consisted of 11 items—five core items plus six modular items—and the 95% confidence intervals for scale scores overlapped with item scores in Study 1 and were confirmed in Study 2; each item correlated most strongly with its parent scale, with all correlations significant at the 0.01 level (two-tailed). The paper frames the modular component as optional for dimensions not applicable to every woman, supplementing the core when required. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it develops and validates the Endometriosis Health Profile-5 questionnaire for endometriosis health status measurement.
