So far, I am aware of the use of generic QoL instruments like the SF-36 (or similar tools) for this purpose. These might not sufficiently address areas of health impacted by smoking.
Dear Nadir,
I propose you several articles with different scales on the question:
- Shaw JW, et al. Responsiveness of the Smoking Cessation Quality of Life (SCQoL) Questionnaire. Clin Ther 2001 2001;23(6):957-69.
- Mandhouj O, et al. French-language version of the World Health Organisation quality of life spirituality, religiousness and personal beliefs instrument. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2012;10:39. (English)
- Garces YI, et al. The Relationship Between Cigarette Smoking and Quality of Life After Lung Cancer Diagnosis. Chest 2004;126:1736-41.
- Austin JB, et al. Deprivation, smoking, and quality of life in asthma. Arch Dis Child 2005;90:253-57.
Best Regards.
Jean.
Dear Dr. Nadir,
I think quality of life in smokers is effected by many problems and in many organs of their body.
It is better you select a QOL scale for diseases such as asthma as Dr. Perriot told.
