Quality of Life Inventory
The QOLI assessment can help clinicians assess problems in living in 16 areas of life for an individual and the degree to which the individual is satisfied or dissatisfied with each area in his or her own life. The assessment also includes an overall score.
Assessment Areas: health, self-esteem, goals and values, money, work, play, learning, creativity, helping, love, friends, children, relatives, home, neighborhood, community.
Providing a nonpathological measure of an individual's mental health, the QOLI assessment was designed to augment measures of negative affect and psychiatric symptoms.
Applications of the QOLI assessment include:
• Outcome assessment and treatment planning for mental and physical disorders
• Non-heath related personal counseling settings such as organizational development, EAPs and college counseling centers to help people focus on improving their quality of life
• Tracking patient treatment progress and documenting change
• Helping to identify people at risk for developing health problems or disorders
• Assisting in gathering information to help establish the efficacy of different treatments or services
• Substance abuse treatment and assessment
• Behavioral medicine assessment
