    QWB- Quality of Well Being Scale

    Generic-Specific Modules

    Measure domains: Mobility; physical activity; social activity; symptom problem complex

    Summary of development:

    The QWB is a health utility measure designed for adults that has been used for children. The QWB was developed to evaluate health policies by comparing the health outcomes of different disease populations. The QWB comprises four scales that focus on the physical impact of an illness. The QWB utilizes a 3-day follow-back format.  Proxy-administration is recommended for children under age 14.

    It is important to note that health utility scales that are made in the econometric tradition, such as the QWB, do not necessarily need psychometric testing such as internal consistency or structural validity.  For these measures, other types of validity such as known groups validity and convergent validity may be useful.

    SLSS- Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale

    Generic-Specific Modules

    Measure domains: No domain structure. Scale includes a range of questions on life satisfaction

    Summary of development:

    SLSS is a global measure that asks its target population the extent to which they agree or disagree with a series of general statements about their life, assessing perceived quality of life. SLSS uses items that are domain-free (e.g., my life is going well) versus domain-specific (e.g., my school life is going well). There are reduced and modified versions of this instrument (Huebner 1991).

    A preliminary version of the SLSS consisted of 10 self-report items. The items were designed to be simple and easy to read, useful across a wide age and intellectual ability range.  The revised version of the SLSS has 7 items.
