What is the shorter version of the SF-36?
The SF-12 is a shortened version of its predecessor, the SF-36, which itself evolved from the Medical Outcomes Study[1]. The SF-12 was created to reduce the burden of response[2]. The SF-12 uses the exact eight domains as the SF-36: Limitations in physical activities because of health problems.

What is the difference between Rand 36 and SF-36?
The treatment of missing data for the SF is carried out by filling in the data that the patient has not answered with the average of the scores of the same dimension. In the RAND-36, the missing data of the items are not filled in, as the average is used to calculate the score for each dimension.
Is SF-36 free to use?
Since then a group of researchers from the original study released a commercial version of SF-36 while the original SF-36 is available in public domain license free from RAND.
