Our work on quality of life and as outcomes in substance and behavioural addictions has been published:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

We identified 53 outcome instruments, assessing 41 unique domains (👇 ), 11 of which had their psychometric properties evaluated.

"the paucity of supporting evidence limits confidence in the reliability and validity of QoL measurement in these populations."

Figure 3 of the linked paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dar.13717 Chart depicting the occurrence of QoL domains across the instruments. Vertical axis labels indicate how many instruments adopt each of the domains. Only domains adopted by >15 instruments are displayed. See Table S3 in the Supporting Information for descriptions of all 41 domains and the specific instruments that adopt them. The domains covered in this chart: Recreation and leisure Friends Anxiety symptoms Depressive symptoms Self-worth/efficacy Family General health Energy & vitality Self-esteem & confidence Pain & discomfort Mobility Usual activities Social, general overall Life Sleep Cognitive capacity Sexual Occupational Finances
