Profile: Angelo Iezzi has been a Research Fellow at the Centre for Health Economics since 2001. He joined the AQoL group as study manager under Professor Jeff Richardson and has specialised in questionnaire design, survey and field work management, and data collection in the development of instruments for measuring Health Related Quality of Life. He has managed the development of the AQoL-6D, -7D and -8D instruments, the Relative Social Willingness To Pay (RSWTP) instrument and an online Time Trade Off instrument. More recently he has been involved in validating the AQoL-8D and managing the Multi Instrument Comparison study. He manages the registry of studies using the AQoL instruments and replies to researchers’ questions about using and scoring the instruments. Prior to his life at Monash, Angelo trained as a civil engineer, and then as a clinical therapist in a complementary medicine private practice for 20 years. He completed a MSc in Counselling and Human Services at La Trobe University in 2000 and completed a Graduate Diploma in Linguistics at Monash in 2014.
