Resumo |
The purpose of this research note is to demonstrate how an individualised quality of life instrument could be adapted to provide a more accurate estimate of the impact of a social service on a person’s quality of life. An increase in quality of life between the start and end of a service is often taken as an indication that the service impacted positively on quality of life. The modifications to the quality of life instrument suggested in this paper show that this assumption is not always accurate and should be questioned directly. |
