World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF

Abbreviation
WHOQOL
Description
The original 100-item WHOQOL allows for a detailed assessment of individual facets relating to quality of life, but may be too lengthy for some uses, such as large epidemiological studies where quality of life is only one amongst many variables of interest. The WHOQOL-BREF comprises 26 items measuring the following broad domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment.
