McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire

The McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) is a 17-item, multidimensional self-report measure specifically developed for people with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. Created by Cohen, Mount, and colleagues at McGill University in 1995, the MQOL captures physical, functional, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions of quality of life in a concise, patient-centered format. It has become a standard outcome measure in palliative care research, hospice quality improvement, and cancer centers internationally.
