Change in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Quality of Life (QOL)
Measured by self-reported 32-item Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) designed to assess feelings about symptoms as a results of IBD over the last 2 weeks. Responses to each question are scored on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (a very severe problem) to 7 (not a problem). Possible total scores range from 32 to 224, where higher scores indicate better outcome/better quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline, approximately 20 weeks
