Adolescent AQOL-6D
Generic measure
Measure domains: Independent living (physical ability), social and family relationships, mental health, coping, pain, senses (vision, hearing, communication)
Summary of development: Moodie and colleagues (2010) conducted focus groups of adolescents ages 12-18 in four Pacific countries (Australia, New Zeland, Figi, Tonga) to adapt the adult version of AQOL-6D (Richardson 2004).
It is important to note that health utility scales that are made in the econometric tradition, such as the AQOL-6D, 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.
