The Quality of Well-being Scale is an interviewer-administrated measure of health-related quality of life. The measure has been used in a wide variety of outcome and public policy studies. A major feature of the measure is that it can be used for cost-utility analysis. There have been at least three criticism of the QWB for outcome studies in arthritis. First, the QWB must be administered by an interviewer. Second, the QWB has not been validated specifically for patients with arthritis. Third, the preference weighting system is based on the general population rather than arthritis patients. The QWB has recently been redeveloped as a self-administered questionnaire (QWB-SA). The purpose of the study is to validate the QWB-SA for patients with arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders. This study has four Specific Aims. The first Aim is to demonstrate the feasibility of the QWB-SA for patients with arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders. The QWB-SA will be administered along with the AIMS-2 and the SF-36 to 1,500 patients. Analysis will consider rates of completed responses, difference in response, and missing information. The second Specific Aim is to develop an arthritis-specific QWB-SA. This will be accomplished by analyzing data collected in relation to Specific Aim 1. Comparisons between arthritis and non patients, using item analysis, will identify components of the measure that separate arthritis patients from patients with other illnesses. The third Aim is to compare preferences from arthritis patients and non patients. This will be accomplished by obtaining ratings for case descriptions and analyzing whether patients have different preference for outcome that non patients. The fourth Specific Aim will be to determine whether patients have different preference for outcome when in acute or non acute pain states. This study will use 100 Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. Half the patients will enter the study when in acute flare while the others will enter when they are not in an acute state. Both groups will be followed prospectively. The product of the research would be an improved outcome measure for public policy studies relevant to arthritis.

福利量表的质量是面试官管理的 衡量与健康相关的生活质量。 该措施已被使用 在各种结果和公共政策研究中。 专业 该度量的特征是它可用于成本效用分析。 至少有三个对QWB的批评 关节炎研究。首先，QWB必须由 访调员。 其次，QWB尚未得到专门验证 对于关节炎患者。第三，偏好加权系统是 基于普通人群而不是关节炎患者。 这 QWB最近被重新开发为自我管理 问卷（QWB-SA）。 该研究的目的是验证 QWB-SA用于关节炎和肌肉骨骼疾病患者。 这项研究具有四个具体目标。第一个目的是证明 QWB-SA对于关节炎患者和 肌肉骨骼疾病。 QWB-SA将进行管理 AIMS-2和SF-36至1,500名患者。 分析将 考虑完成的响应率，响应差异和 缺少信息。 第二个具体目的是开发 关节炎特异性QWB-SA。 这将通过分析来完成 与特定目标1收集的数据。 关节炎和非患者使用项目分析将确定 将关节​​炎患者与 患有其他疾病的患者。第三个目的是比较 关节炎患者和非患者的偏好。这将是 通过获得案例描述和分析的评分来完成 患者是否有不同的偏爱结果 患者。第四个具体目标是确定是否 急性或非 急性疼痛状态。 这项研究将使用100个类风湿关节炎 患者。 一半的患者将在急性耀斑中进入研究 而其他人则不处于急性状态时会进入。两个都 前瞻性遵循小组。 研究的产物 公共政策研究的结果将是改进的结果 与关节炎有关。
