DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Background: Quality of life (QOL) assessment has become a standard endpoint in many randomized clinical trials and other studies. QOL encompasses a wide array of domains including health, physical environment, interactions with family and friends, and available resources (e.g., income, wealth, social support). The mission of the International Society for Quality of Life Research (ISOQOL) is the scientific study of QOL relevant to health and healthcare and advancement of the state-of-the-science of QOL research and clinical applications of QOL measures. The 16th annual meeting of ISOQOL, "Integrating HRQOL in Health Care Policy, Research, and Practice," will be held October 28-31, 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Sheraton New Orleans. Objectives: The specific aims of the ISOQOL conference are to: 1) introduce the science of quality of life assessment and research to new investigators; 2) provide continuing education to experienced investigators; 3) discuss advances in measurement, statistical methods, and clinical applications of quality of life; and 4) promote collaboration within and across countries to enhance the QOL of individuals. The conference will include an interesting and informative array of conceptual, methodological and practical sessions via a mix of symposia, plenary sessions, and paper and poster presentations. Methods: The conference will feature hands-on workshops, invited symposia, plenary, panel, oral and poster sessions highlighting the latest clinical news and research findings in the field of Quality of Life research. Special programming for investigators early in their careers will be offered, including a Mentor/Mentee program to bring together researchers and clinicians of similar interest but differing experience levels. Outcomes: The conference aims to focus on how HRQOL research findings can be translated across settings to improve its usefulness to a variety of stakeholders, and will examine a matrix of three components: (1) settings, (2) questions, and (3) stakeholders. The success of the conference will be determined by the extent to which the specific aims are achieved. To assess these aims, attendees will be administered an evaluation form. All submitted abstracts that are presneted as either posters or papers will be published in Quality of Life Research journal. Public Health Relevance: The overall objective of this conference is to significantly improve general knowledge about QOL among participants and enhance future quality of QOL research and applications in clinical practice. It will also foster international collaboration among QOL researchers and clinicians and provide access to QOL research to trainees and young investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）： 背景：生活质量（QOL）评估已成为许多随机临床试验和其他研究的标准终点。生活质量涵盖广泛的领域，包括健康、物理环境、与家人和朋友的互动以及可用资源（例如收入、财富、社会支持）。国际生活质量研究协会 (ISOQOL) 的使命是对与健康和医疗保健相关的生活质量进行科学研究，并推进生活质量研究的科学水平和生活质量测量的临床应用。 ISOQOL 第 16 届年会“将 HRQOL 纳入医疗保健政策、研究和实践”将于 2009 年 10 月 28 日至 31 日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良新奥尔良喜来登酒店举行。 目标：ISOQOL 会议的具体目标是： 1) 向新研究者介绍生活质量评估和研究的科学； 2）为有经验的研究者提供继续教育； 3）讨论生活质量的测量、统计方法和临床应用方面的进展； 4) 促进国家内部和国家之间的合作，以提高个人的生活质量。会议将通过研讨会、全体会议以及论文和海报展示的形式，包括一系列有趣且内容丰富的概念、方法和实践会议。 方法：会议将以实践研讨会、特邀研讨会、全体会议、小组会议、口头会议和海报会议为特色，重点介绍生活质量研究领域的最新临床新闻和研究成果。将为处于职业生涯早期的研究人员提供特殊计划，包括导师/受训者计划，将兴趣相似但经验水平不同的研究人员和临床医生聚集在一起。 成果：会议旨在重点关注如何将 HRQOL 研究结果转化为跨环境，以提高其对各种利益相关者的实用性，并将审查由三个组成部分组成的矩阵：(1) 环境、(2) 问题和 (3)利益相关者。会议的成功与否将取决于具体目标的实现程度。为了评估这些目标，与会者将收到一份评估表。所有以海报或论文形式提交的摘要将发表在《生活质量研究》杂志上。 公共健康相关性：本次会议的总体目标是显着提高参与者对生活质量的常识，并提高未来生活质量研究和临床实践应用的质量。它还将促进生活质量研究人员和临床医生之间的国际合作，并为学员和年轻研究人员提供生活质量研究的机会。
