 +===== SQUASH in Lifelines ===== 
 +[[start|Lifelines]] implemented the SQUASH in [[1A Questionnaire 2]], [[2A Questionnaire 1]] and [[3A Questionnaire 1]]. In [[1B]], [[1C]] and [[3B]], participants were only asked a very general question about their physical activity level.\\ 
 +Note that the full squash was also implemented in additional assessment [[NEXT]]. Two general questions from the SQUASH were asked in the additional questionnaire on [[ACTQ|daily activities (ACTQ)]].

 +===== SQUASH sum scores =====

 +The results from [[1A]] were used to calculate [[SQUASH sum scores]]. Please follow the link for the calculation protocol and the resulting variables.
