Quality of Kids’ Lives Study

Research area: Population Health > Health Services | Status: Active

Overview

Each year, researchers and doctors work to find better tests, treatments, and services for children. They often use questionnaires that ask about a child’s general health (also called ‘health related quality of life’) to understand how these tests, treatments and services improve children’s lives.

However, sometimes this can be hard as there is a lack of sound evidence on how well these health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires perform in children. More evidence on the performance of these questionnaires is required in Australia to guide decision-making. 

We are looking for children and young people aged 2-18 years old alongside a caregiver to complete two surveys. The surveys will involve answering questions about your child’s wellbeing as well as a few short questions about you and your family.

We hope the results of this work may help us to better measure overall health in children in order to provide better health care to children in the future.
