The WHO Field Centre for the Study of Quality of Life is an international research centre based at the University of Bath.
What does quality of life mean to you?
Is there universal agreement about its meaning, or is it culturally defined?
Can you measure it, and if so, what is the best way to do this?
Is it a single idea or concept, and if not, do people agree about which dimensions of quality of life are important?
These and many other questions have become the basis for over a decade of research on the WHOQOL project carried
out in the WHO Centre for the Study of Quality of Life at University of Bath, through a collaboration set up by the World Health Organisation,
Geneva (Division of Mental Health).

Researchers wishing to use the WHOQOL instruments must register to use them. Once registered, you can access all the UK versions of the instruments. You must re-register each time you wish to use an instrument.
You can complete the online WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, which will give you a measure of your quality of life based on your responses to the questionnaire.
