Convergent validity of two measures of the quality of life
检验了两种生活质量评估方法的收敛效度，一种基于简化版健康测量问卷，另一种基于专业临床判断，以诺丁汉健康量表为对照，数据来自结直肠癌患者样本。
In the paper, a test of convergent validity is undertaken for two methods of quality of life assessment, one based on a shortened version of the Health Measurement Questionnaire and the other based on professional clinical judgement. The Nottingham Health Profile is used as the comparator, and the data derive from a sample of colorectal cancer patients. Criteria for convergent validity are established and both methods yield outcomes broadly consistent with such criteria.
