FertiQol will be useful to clinicians and researchers alike. FertiQoL can be used to identify people at risk of impaired QoL so that psychosocial resources can be offered and subscale scores could identify the specific domains where intervention might be most beneficial. Recent research has shown a close correspondence between Core FertiQoL and standardized measures of anxiety and depression in a Dutch sample (Aarts et al., 2011) . The availability of FertiQoL in 20 languages will facilitate essential cross-cultural research, particularly in developing nations (Ombelet et al., 2008; van Balen and Bos, 2010) . However, whether cross-cultural differences exist, whether different populations have different mean scores and whether separate cultural norms are needed are all important questions that need to be addressed in future research.
