AQoL-6D for adults versus AQol-6D ADOLESCENT Utility Scores

In the OPIC study adolescent utilities for Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga were derived by adjusting the AQoL-6D scores for Australian adults (Moodie, Richardson et al. 2010). The original 6D utility study estimated 9 separate models.

The aqol.com.au website now recommends the scoring algorithm reproduced from model 6 for adults and the algorithm from model 1 for adolescents. This implies that adolescent scores calculated from model 1 should not, in principle, be compared with adult scores calculated from model 6 (or model 9, the original model recommended in Richardson et al 2007).

Model 1 scores may be obtained from the formula:

AQoL-6D (model 1)  = [AQoL-6D (Multiplicative)]^0.59

This may be further adjusted to obtain the adolescent scores described in Moodie et al. (2010).
