‘Welcome to the PozQoL Website’ with Associate Professor Graham Brown, one of the PozQoL Project‘s lead investigators
Hi! Welcome to the PozQoL Website.
I’m Graham Brown, one of investigators of the PozQoL Study.
PozQoL is a short, validated scale to measure changes in quality of life of people living with HIV.
PozQoL is actually a collaboration of community, research, and the health sector. We set out to develop a short, freely available scale that could be easily incorporated into day-to-day practice of health services, community and peer programs, and in research.
On this website you’ll find the scale itself in a range of different languages. You’ll also find details about how we developed the scale, the reliability and validity testing, where we have trialled its use in practice, as well as guides on how to use PozQoL.
We hope you find PozQoL really useful and we look forward to hearing about your experience with it.
Thanks!
