Abstract

The children and parents/caregivers in this study found CAQ-B to be a simple and acceptable questionnaire with some evidence of content validity. While two of the domains did not meet internal consistency standards expected of HR-QOL instruments for adults (Cronbach’s alpha=0.70), they were acceptable for children of this age. The patterns of correlation also suggest that parent/caregivers’ perception of the severity of a young child’s asthma may be a better indicator of a child’s HR-QOL than clinical diagnosis of severity. However, further investigation is recommended to improve and validate the internal structure of the scale. Copyright Adis Data Information BV 2006
