Introduction to TBI-CareQOL
TBI-CareQOL is a set of self-report measures within the Neuro-QoL™ measurement system that assesses the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of caregivers of adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The TBI-CareQOL measures were developed through a collaborative, multi-site NIH-sponsored research project to construct a psychometrically-sound and clinically-relevant health-related quality of life measurement tool for caregivers of individuals with TBI. TBI-CareQOL is comprised of item banks and scales that evaluate symptoms and concerns important to caregivers. The TBI-CareQOL measures are intended for use in both clinical trials and clinical practice.
