Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to argue for a measure of quality of life (QoL
) for children aged between 4 and 8 years, describe the obstacles in develo
ping such a measure, and provide evidence that it is possible to elicit dir
ectly information from children. Finally we summarize and critique measures
that are currently available for this purpose.
