The Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) program in CDC’s Division of Population Health provides expertise and support in population HRQOL and well-being assessment to CDC, states, communities, and other public health partners. The primary responsibilities for the program are to carry out surveillance and dissemination of HRQOL and well-being outcomes in the United States using state and national surveys. The program’s other responsibilities include carrying out epidemiological studies, assessing risk factors and health disparities associated with HRQOL and well-being, disseminating these findings, and partnering with the academic community on research development (studies, methodology, data, and sample software syntax) for CDC’s HRQOL and well-being measures.
