Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life in school-going adolescents: validation of PedsQL instrument and comparison with WHOQOL-BREF.

Abstract

For Indian adolescents, PedsQL is a reliable and valid instrument. However, on comparison with revised WHOQOL-BREF, PedsQL has poor to fair validity. We conclude that revised WHOQOL-BREF is a better HRQoL instrument for Indian adolescents.
