Reasons to Measure Quality of Life
Eating Disorder treatment has traditionally used change in symptoms and behaviors as outcome measures.
These are important, but increasingly quality of life (QL) is seen as another
crucial outcome measure for progressive, patient-centred programs
across many health conditions. Quality of Life is the outcome typically most valued
by patients and their families - their involvement in treatment is
ultimately aimed at a desire for a better life more broadly. See a few examples below...
