Handbook of Disease Burdens and Quality of Life Measures
Welcome to the homepage of Handbook of Disease Burdens and Quality of Life Measures, a comprehensive reference work from Springer.
It is the first comprehensive work to address new methods of assessment and analyze new quality of life findings on an international scale. It describes and assesses quantitative measures of quality of life, life expectancy, and the financial costs of illness and treatment.
Information and more details about the extent of this project can be found under Aims & Scope.
