Use of health-related quality-of-life measures for Indigenous child and youth populations: a scoping review protocol
Introduction Measures of health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) are increasingly important for evaluating healthcare interventions and treatments, understanding the burden of disease, identifying health inequities, allocating health resources and for use in epidemiological studies. Although many HRQ...
