Health‐related quality of life: cross‐informant agreement of father, mother, and self‐report for children and adolescents in outpatient psychotherapy treatment

Abstract

Although there was moderate-to-high correspondence, mother and father reports were not interchangeable. When collecting a single-parent proxy rating on the child's HRQoL, researchers should be aware of the additional potential source of variance due to differing concordance of father and mother with the child's self-report especially for peer relations.
