Mission Statement
There is an increasing demand worldwide to appropriately judge the effects of various interventions in medicine, social welfare, elderly care and education, as well as to increase individuals’ Quality of Life (QOL) and create a health society.
Evaluations to fulfill these needs cannot be solely based on objective or physical measures; rather, it involves subjective reports of people receiving the intervention that serve as important points of reference.
The development of methods to accurately measure and understand QOL and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as well as the promotion of scientific research employing those methods are required.
Japanese Society for QOL-PRO research was established with goals to create an opportunity for a wide range of researchers involved in the studies of QOL-PRO research to exchange information, conduct high-quality studies, and return the benefits of these efforts back to the society as a whole.
