GPAQ
is copyright of the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre
at Manchester University and Dana Gelb Safran of the New England Medical
Center Hospitals. The copyright can be found at the bottom of the first
page and must be printed on each questionnaire.
If
you are an academic department, you do not need permission to use GPAQ
for research purposes. There is also no charge for the use of GPAQ in
this case.
If
you are not an academic department and wish to use GPAQ for research
purposes, please contact the GPAQ Administrator.
A
lot of development work has gone into GPAQ and keeping it in its original
form will retain validity and allow comparisons to be made with benchmark
data. However, you can modify GPAQ for your own research purposes but
NPCRDC does not give specific approval to modifications of GPAQ.
