This volume's purpose is to describe concepts and methods
concerning assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in
children and adolescents with a special focus on chronic health
conditions. The impetus for this book came from a recognition of
the increasing importance of HRQOL assessments in the evaluation of
treatment outcomes and the need to increase the utilization of
HRQOL assessments in research and clinical applications with a
range of pediatric populations. The need to develop a volume that
describes new research and clinical applications concerning this
topic stemmed from several recent developments. There is a
continuing need for evaluations of the efficacy of medical
treatments for children and adolescents, including those with
chronic health conditions.
To address these critical unmet needs in the field of HRQOL
assessment, and to advance scientific methods and clinical
applications in this field, a conference was held at Case Western
Reserve University. The conference set out to summarize current
information concerning the development and implementation of
measures of HRQOL assessment, to identify and consider key
conceptual and methodological issues in research concerning the
measurement of HRQOL, and to recommend priorities to advance the
state-of-the-art in research and clinical applications of QOL
assessment in children and adolescents with chronic health
conditions. This volume summarizes and synthesizes the information
that was presented by the conference participants in a series of
lively discussions and chapters that were based on the
presentations.
