A Challenging Review of QoL Measurements,
By A Customer
This review is from: Measuring Health: A Review of Quality of Life Measurement Scales (Paperback)
This book makes simple terms very challenging to understand. If you are unfamiliar with Quality of Life measurements and validity scales please do an online search BEFORE you begin to use this book. A basic understanding of the terms is needed even though definitions are provided in the text. Her definitions are unclear and confusing.
