Based on the German original questionnaire of the "Hamburger modules for measuring generic aspects of psycho-social health in the therapeutic practice" (HEALTH-49) a Turkish speaking version (T-HEALTH-49) was cross-cultural sensitively developed. The psychometric properties have been analysed by means of a clinical sample of Turkish speaking patients (N=311). The questionnaire proves to be practical, the dimensional structure and the relatively independence of the modules have been confirmed by factor analysis. The single scales are characterised by satisfactory to high reliability and satisfactory validity. The T-HEALTH-49 considers adequately psychosocial aspects in diagnostic, therapy planning and quality assurance. The questionnaire can be downloaded for free (www.hamburger-module.de).
