Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR)

The Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR), also called the 'Neil-QPR,' is a 22-item self-report measure assessing subjective recovery processes in individuals with serious mental illness, particularly schizophrenia and related disorders. Developed by Stephen T. Neil, Matthias Kilbride, Leonie Pitt, and colleagues in 2009, the QPR captures dimensions central to lived experience of recovery: awareness of mental illness and strengths, motivation to pursue recovery goals, effective coping strategies, hope, and self-esteem. Unlike scales measuring recovery outcomes, the QPR emphasizes recovery as an active process—the psychological and behavioral work individuals undertake.
