Examining the relationship between EQ-HWB and other quality of life measures.

Start year: 2024

Summary: The study aims to use existing data to generate evidence about the measurement properties of both versions of the EQ-HWB in comparison to other quality of life instruments. For the purpose of this study, we plan to conduct secondary data analysis on already collected general population data. We collected longitudinal survey data in Australia for an Australian Research Council (ARC) funded project that opportunistically included the EQ-HWB. Since the project's primary aims did not focus on the EQ-HWB, the exploration of the instruments' psychometric characteristics is not covered by ARC funding, leading to this proposal's submission. The ethical approval obtained for the ARC funded project encompasses any project extensions and permits secondary data analysis of the gathered data.
