DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a Program of Projects to advance the applied science of evaluating health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in older U.S. adults. We simultaneously use four widely-used generic HRQOL instruments, the SF-36v2, EuroQol EQ-5D, Quality of Well-being scale (QWB-SA), and Health Utilities Index (HUI2/3). Additionally we use the HALex from the National Center for Health Statistics. Project 1 uses a telephone survey to interview a cross-sectional sample of 2800 non-institutionalized adult U.S. residents aged 35-89. Persons aged 65 and older will be over-sampled to provide higher precision in older ages. African Americans are over-sampled for the first national survey of substantial size (n=1000) of this important sub-population. Project 1 data will be used to construct gender- and age-specific national reference averages for HRQOL among older adults on all measures. Project 2 will use all four measures to follow treatment and 6 month recovery of patients with three age-related diseases stressing different aspects of HRQOL newly referred congestive heart failure, hip replacement for osteoarthritis, and cataract extraction. This project will establish characteristics of the measures for longitudinal follow-up of patients with self-administered questionnaires. Project 3 examines how duration of a health condition affects HRQOL assessments and how this affects interpretation of HRQOL scores from standardized indexes. This is particularly important in the elderly as medical care increasingly prolongs life with chronic conditions. Project 4 determines survey mode effects (telephone versus self-administration) for all instruments as well as English versus Spanish language administration for persons who are usually Spanish speakers. The Program will enhance health researchers' ability to measure, follow, and interpret HRQOL in adults and to assess health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出了一个项目计划，以推进评估美国老年人健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的应用科学。我们同时使用四种广泛使用的通用HRQOL工具，SF-36 v2，EuroQol EQ-5D，幸福质量量表（QWB-SA）和健康效用指数（HUI 2/3）。此外，我们使用国家卫生统计中心的HALex。项目1使用电话调查采访了2800名年龄在35-89岁的非机构化成年美国居民的横截面样本。将对65岁及以上的人进行过度抽样，以提高老年人的精确度。非裔美国人是过度抽样的第一次全国调查的实质性规模（n=1000），这一重要的亚群。项目1数据将用于构建老年人HRQOL所有指标的性别和年龄特异性国家参考平均值。项目2将使用所有四项指标来随访患有三种年龄相关疾病的患者的治疗和6个月恢复情况，强调HRQOL新转诊的充血性心力衰竭、骨关节炎髋关节置换术和白内障摘除术的不同方面。本研究将以自填式问卷调查方式，建立追踪追踪病患之措施特色。项目3研究健康状况的持续时间如何影响HRQOL评估，以及这如何影响标准化指数对HRQOL评分的解释。这一点对老年人尤其重要，因为医疗保健越来越多地使慢性病患者的生活更加困难。项目4确定调查模式的影响（电话与自我管理）的所有文书，以及英语与西班牙语管理的人谁通常是西班牙语。该计划将提高健康研究人员的能力，以衡量，遵循和解释HRQOL在成人和评估健康的差距。
