"Anyone seeking to identify potentially useful disease-specific measures for their study will find this a good starting point." Quality of Life Research Praise for the first edition: "...text that is remarkably detailed and comprehensive in its coverage of a range of quality of life measures...Bowling's book provides an important step towards the development of measures of quality of life that are both sensitive and rigorous." - Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health "...a most useful and comprehensive addition to the literature...The book is readable, well referenced and up to date. I recommend any group that wishes to attempt to measure health outcomes to consider adding this book to their resource list." - Australian Health Review "...this book gives an in-depth and comprehensive insight in health-related quality of life scales...a most valuable guide in helping the reader search for the scale with the best psychometric properties. Furthermore, this book will contribute highly to the improvement of disease-specific measurement of quality of life and to the comparability of measurement results." - Journal of Health Psychology This is a thoroughly updated and revised edition of Measuring Disease. It supplements the author's previous work Measuring Health (2nd edition). In assessing the outcome of disease and treatments, measurement scales must be relevant to their specific effects, necessitating the use of disease specific questionnaires. There is now considerable interest in measures which are multi-dimensional, and which are more sensitive than generic measures to specific disease and treatment effects. This book reviews disease specific measures of quality of life and, where relevant, popularly used symptom and single dimension scales. It is intended as a source book for researchers, medical and health care practitioners who are involved in the measurement of the outcome of health services.

"In this volume, a group of leading philosophers, economists, epidemiologists, and policy scholars continue a twenty-year discussion of philosophical questions connected to the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), one of the largest-scale research collaborations in global health. Chapters explore issues in ethics, political philosophy, metaphysics, the philosophy of economics, and the philosophy of medicine. Some chapters identify previously-unappreciated aspects of the GBD, including the way it handles causation and aggregates complex data; while others offer fresh perspectives on frequently-discussed topics such as discounting, age-weighting, and the valuation of health states. The volume concludes with a set of chapters discussing how epidemiological data should and shouldn't be used"--

Are we happer, freer, healthier, wealthier, safer, more comforatble, more interesting? How we answer these questions depends on how we define and measure 'a better life'. How and what we measure to show if life is improving is what this book explores. Measuring Progress is the most wide-ranging exploration of lifestyle improvement yet undertaken. It considers social, economic and environmental perspectives. Twenty-three of Australia's leading researchers have contributed chapters on indicators of national performance and what they tell us about the quality and sustainability of life in Australia. The contributors consider how these measures can be improved. The book includes additional commentaries from nine senior bureaucrats, academics and community representatives. Tipics covered include: new measures of progress, the use and abuse of GDP, the causes of correlates of happiness, what 'Middle Australia' thinks about the changes reshaping their lives, income distribution and poverty changes in the workplace and the family, health and well-being, measuring civic and social trust, the state of the environment. Measuring Progress is a major contribution to a debate that could alter ra
