QUOKKA (Quality of Life in Kids)
Project Details
The aim of this program is to strengthen tools and evidence on health outcomes in paediatric populations for use in decision making. The QUOKKA research program comprises six empirical projects, addressing fundamental issues relating to the measurement and use of health outcomes in making decisions about budget allocations and priority setting for paediatric populations.
The research will:
- Improve ways of seeking child self-reported HRQoL, and better ways of handling proxy reporting;
- Find better ways of obtaining values for paediatric HRQoL - including the possibility of seeking children’s own perspectives;
- Address fundamental issues regarding the way decision makers ‘weigh up’ health outcomes for children and adults when making decisions about budget allocations and setting priorities for paediatric interventions
