NCT ID: NCT00328042

Last Updated: 2015-04-24

Results Overview

The QWB-SA is a preference-based measure of health-related quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 1.0, with 0 representing death, and 1.0 representing asymptomatic, optimal functioning. Thus, higher scores indicate higher quality of life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Base Line, 6 weeks

The measure consists of 15 questions covering Hepatitis C-specific information related to disease self-management. Each correct response is scored as one point, with total scores range from 0 to 15. Higher scores indicate higher levels of Hepatitis C-specific knowledge. There are no subscales.
