Abstract

Comprehensively measuring the outcomes of interventions and policy programmes impacting both health and broader areas of quality of life (QoL) is important for decision-making within and across sectors. Increasingly, broad QoL measures are being developed to capture outcomes beyond health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Jointly exploring the dimensionality of diverse instruments can improve our understanding about their evaluative space and how they conceptually build on each other. This study explored the measurement relationship between five broader QoL measures and the most widely used HRQoL measure, the EQ-5D.
