Motivation
Health-related questionnaires are used in many psychological studies and clinical trials. I know from my own experience that information about scoring procedures are often scattered among numerous sources and, thus, hard to find. Since I frequently work with questionnaires, I have decided to write qscorer, an R package with scoring procedures for health-related questionnaires.
Scoring procedures
The qscorer package (version 0.3.0) provides procedures for scoring the following health-related questionnaires:
- Atrial Fibrillation Effect on QualiTy-of-Life Questionnaire (AFEQT)

Installation
You can install the development version of qscorer from GitHub with:
devtools::install_github('nrkoehler/qscorer')
To Do
In the near future, I will add control structures to the scoring functions in order to prevent items with out-of-range values to be scored. qscorer is a growing package. Thus, further scoring procedures will be added.
