Subjective Quality of Life Measures for Evaluating Medical Intervention.

McCauley, Clark; Bremer, Barbara A.

Evaluation and the Health Professions, v14 n4 p371-87 Dec 1991

Rodgers (1976) can be as sensitive as physiological measures in distinguishing among medical treatment groups. These scales can complement more objective measures of patient status. (SLD)
