The Interest Checklist was translated into Swedish already in 1987 but it has never been adapted to Swedish context. And, since MOHO has been updated severely times since 1983 it was advisable to initially make asurvey in Sweden examining interests’ people do today.

In total 76 people participated by filling in a questionnaire investigated to what extent the interests on the list were carried out today by adults. The responder could add new interests and they could make comments to the list. Based on the feedback and national surveys on how leisure time in Sweden is spend an updated list was designed. The different interests were categorized into sex areas; Outdoor interests, Exercise, Productivity - at home, Art and creative, Social, and Others. All, 68, interests are stated extensively in verbform and arranged in alphabetical order within each group. New interests have been added, others have been updated, clarified or removed. Example of new interests is "Networks and be active on social media (eg Facebook, Instagram, Blogs)". Example of updated interest is "Clothes", which now is called "Follow fashion (eg clothes, makeup)". Some interests have been removed either because they are part of one of the new interests or because they are not a leisure interest, for example "Housecleaning”. The new Swedish version, completed in 2019, has also been related to the latest MOHO (2017) and ICF. An assessment manual has been developed with an introduction, theoretical ground, instructions to self-report and additionally a case has been added.
