(a) some measures are too lengthy (over 100 items) for use in a clinical trial : e.g. the Oregon Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ; Bigelow et al, 1991), the Quality of Life Self-Report-100 (QLS-100; Skantze et al, 1992), and the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (Oliver et al, 1996);(b) some need to be completed by a psychiatrist or other trained interviewer, whereas a measure of QoL is dependent on subjective self-report : e.g. the Satisfaction with Life Domains Scale (Baker & Intagliata, 1982), the Quality of Life Scale (QLS; Heinrichs et al, 1984) and Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (MANSA) (Priebe, 1999);(c) some measures take a broad view of QoL, developed for the assessment of community programmes, and were therefore considered to be unlikely to be sensitive to QoL changes resulting from clinical changes as measured in a clinical trial : e.g. the Community Adjustment Form (CAF; Stein & Test, 1980) and the Wisconsin Quality of Life Questionnaire (Becker et al, 1993);(d) some are limited in terms of their psychometric properties : e.g. the QLS (Heinrichs et al, 1984).What is lacking for research and clinical purposes is a practical, brief self-report measure, developed according to standardised methodology and possessing good psychometric properties. To fill this gap, we present the results of a study illustrating the development and validation of a novel QoL measure specific to people with schizophrenia : the Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS).
