Periodic Reporting for period 1 - QoLRO (Measuring Quality of Life in the general population and Roma minority in Romania: implications for health policies and economic evaluations)
Reporting period: 2017-11-01 to 2019-10-31
Final results of the project will be published by the end of 2021 in scientific journals, like Value in Health and Quality of Life Research, and on the project’s website (https://research.ncl.ac.uk/qolro/).
We believe that our study’s results will encourage the development of interventions aimed at reducing health and health-related quality of life inequalities between the Roma and the general population in Romania. It will also promote a more transparent and evidence based decision-making process on the allocation of healthcare resources. Results from this project will support priority setting and the development of clinical guidelines for Romania. Finally, it will open up a new avenue for health-related quality of life research in Romania that will encourage a wider use of health-related quality of life instruments from population health surveys to studies in vulnerable groups or other disadvantaged patient populations.
