Overview
The Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL) instruments are health-related multi-attribute utility quality of life instruments. Initially they were designed for use in economic evaluation studies (cost utility analysis (CUA). However their use is broader and need not be limited to economic or health related work. To date, four AQoL instruments have been developed.
For historical and institutional reasons the instrument names are used inconsistently in the literature, although on this website the labels in the diagram are used consistently.
The reason for multiple instruments is discussed in the choice of an instrument.
