description: The original <strong>Health Economics Questionnaire (HEQ)</strong> is a comprehensive patient self-completed health economics questionnaire measuring health and social care resource use, medication, absenteeism from work and presenteeism, other productivity impacts as well as socio-demographic background information. It was developed in 2016 based on several years of international experience with within-trial (mental health) economic evaluations and originally implemented in the multi-country European PreDicT study. To allow for resource-use measurement in times of pandemics, the original <strong>Health Economics Questionnaire (HEQ)</strong> has been updated and complemented with a <strong>COVID-19</strong> resource-use measurement module (Module 7) in 2020. The HEQ COVID-19 now both reflects the changed service provision landscape and having direct information on any COVID-19 related service use. In Module 7, a set of new questions have been added to capture further information about COVID-19 infections, self-isolation and related changes in health services use and employment status, with the purpose of understanding what resource use can be directly attributed to the on-going COVID-19 public health crisis rather than the investigated trial treatment or mental illness. The HEQ Covid-19 has been implemented in the UK-based PAX-BD and PAX-D studies. Currently it is available in two languages: English, German. <strong>Note: </strong>All existing versions of the<strong> HEQ will not be updated</strong> in the future. Instead, we encourage the use of the comprehensive new <strong>PECUNIA</strong> <strong>resource use measurement (RUM)</strong> <strong>instrument</strong> developed as part of the European research project <strong>PECUNIA (2018-2021)</strong>. The <strong>PECUNIA RUM</strong> is an internationally standardised, harmonised and validated, generic, self-reported modular instrument that measures resource use in all relevant sectors for costing from a societal perspective in the adult population. Further information and access details can be found on https://www.pecunia-project.eu/tools/rum-instrument. <strong>User conditions HEQ COVID-19</strong> The use of HEQ COVID-19 is available for non-commercial purposes under the CC BY NC and is conditional upon citation of the HEQ in any resulting work/publication as follows: Kingslake J, Dias R, Dawson GR, Simon J, Goodwin GM, Harmer CJ, et al.
