Quality of life approaches in the health field usually focus on illness and disability.
There is also limited attention to environmental determinants of health and well-being. The Quality of Life Profile was developed to provide a measure that considers both the components and determinants of health and well-being. These items were collected and piloted with classes of our students at Ryerson University and the University of Toronto. Once reviewed by the authors, they were placed into the Quality of Life Profile. The QOLP consists of 54 items, six in each of nine sub-domains.
