Independent Evaluations of the QOLI®:
“The most promising quality of life instrument available is the Quality of Life Inventory (pp.92)”
–In Michael J. Lambert’s, Benjamin Ogles, & Kevin Masters’ Assessing Outcome in Clinical Practice NY: Allyn and Bacon
“Dr. Frisch has developed an easily administered, valid, and highly useful instrument in the Quality of Life Inventory™ (The QOLI®). Not only does it tap an important realm of psychosocial functioning–the quality of life–but it may function as a practical gauge of treatment progress or outcome.”
–Theodore Millon, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School and the
University of Miami
“There is no construct more clinically significant and important than quality of life and the Quality of Life Inventory measures it admirably. The The QOLI® is useful in treatment planning and progress/outcome evaluation.”
–Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Yale University
“The The QOLI® is a new scale, but it has had a thorough psychometric evaluation…The primary advantages of the QOLI® are the availability of a manual and nationwide norms which approximate the U.S. Census in ethnicity, the scale’s brevity (3 minutes for the scale itself), its sixth-grade reading level, and the relative ease of completion, scoring, and interpretation. The instrument has been shown to be useful with different populations, both clinical and nonclinical, and change with treatment has been demonstrated. The The QOLI® was developed to complement symptom-oriented measures of psychological and medical functioning for use in planning treatment, evaluating the outcome of interventions, and identifying those at high risk for health problems and relapse.”
–American Psychiatric Association’s Handbook
of Psychiatric Measures (2002)
“The The QOLI® represents the state-of-the-art in quality of life assessment. Just as the MMPI-2 is the best existing paper-and-pencil measure of psychological dysfunction, the The QOLI®, because of its qualities, is the best existing measure of positive mental health. Since it is not disorder based or disease-specific, however, it has the potential to be a universal outcome measure for virtually any psychological or medical treatment. We are using the The QOLI® as our “gold standard” measure of quality of life in our $3.7 million NIH grant study of age-related changes in health and quality of life.”
–John E. Cornell, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine,
University of Texas at San Antonio
“The The QOLI® provides an important instrument outcome assessment. It is a measure with solid psychometric properties.”
–Constance Hammen, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology & Psychiatry, University of California at Los Angeles
