| Abstract | AIM: To examine the construct validity of generic preference-weighted health-related quality of life measures in a sample of patients with a substance use disorder (SUD). DESIGN: Longitudinal (baseline and 6-month follow-up) data from a research study that evaluated interventions to improve linkage and engagement with SUD treatment. SETTING: A central intake unit that referred patients to seven SUD treatment centers in a Midwestern US metropolitan area. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 495 individuals with a SUD. MEASUREMENTS: Participants completed two preference-weighted measures: the self-administered Quality of Well-Being scale (QWB-SA) and the standard gamble weighted Medical Outcomes Study SF-12 (SF-6D). They were also administered two clinical assessments: all seven domains of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) and a symptom checklist based on the DSM-IV. Construct validity was determined via the relationships between disease-specific SUD and generic measures. FINDINGS: In unadjusted analyses, the QWB-SA and SF-6D change scores were correlated significantly with six ASI subscale change scores, but not with employment status. In adjusted repeated-measures analyses, three of seven ASI subscale scores were significant predictors of QWB-SA and 5/7 ASI subscale scores were significant predictors of SF-6D. Abstinence and problematic use at follow-up were significant predictors of QWB-SA and SF-6D. Effect sizes ranged from 0.352 to 0.400 for abstinence and -0.484 to -0.585 for problematic use. CONCLUSIONS: Generic preference-weighted health-related quality of life measures show moderate to good associations with substance-use specific measures and in certain circumstances can be used in their stead. This study provides further support for the use of the Quality of Well-Being scale and Medical Outcomes Study SF-12 in clinical and economic evaluations of substance use disorder interventions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
